Creating a Theme with Animations

Is it possible to create a theme that includes animation? I specifically want to add animations to headings and body styles, not just the slide.

Mac Studio, macOS 14.0

Themes are created from the content of the Slide Layout.

As the Slide Layout can't contain animations, animations can not be saved in a Theme.



Many years ago I created a presentation to demonstrate all the transitions available in Keynote, one slide for each transition.


Any one of these slides can be copied into a new presentation, text, shapes and images added to the slides and I then have a rough version available. It's debatable whether this saves me a great deal of time, but it's now part of my workflow.
