Apple Keynote '09 - Manual (Page 114)

Object Effects: Moves all the graphics on the slide at once, as it moves them
on or off the slide. Object effects are best used between two slides containing
prominent graphics.
3D Effects: Creates three-dimensional visual effects that move one slide off the screen
as the next slide moves on. These effects don’t depend on the content of the slide but
may require an advanced graphics card to play smoothly.
2D Effects: Creates two-dimensional visual effects that move one slide off the screen
as the next moves on.
Recent Effects: Keeps a list of the last five transitions you’ve used, making it easy to
select effects again as you add new slides.
3 To preview the transition in the inspector window, click the thumbnail image in the
Transition pane.
Or click Play in the toolbar to watch the animation in full screen.
4 To change how much time it takes to complete the transition, type a value in the
Duration field (or click the arrows).
5 Choose an option from the Direction pop-up menu (not applicable for all effects).
6 Choose an option from the Start Transition pop-up menu.
If you want to initiate the transition only after you click to advance to the next slide, choose
On Click.
If you want the transition to begin automatically after the current slide has been displayed
for a set amount of time, choose Automatically. In the Delay field, specify how long to
linger on the current slide before initiating the transition to the next slide.
7 If you chose an effect with additional options (such as Mosaic, Swap, or Fade Through
Color), select the settings you want.
If your Cube or Flip transitions appear clipped when you play your slideshow: Parts of Cube
and Flip transitions might not be visible if “Scale slides up to fit display” is selected
in the Slideshow pane of Keynote preferences. To ensure that these transitions aren’t
clipped during your slideshow, either deselect “Scale slides up to fit display” or select
one or both of the “Reduce transitions to avoid clipping” options in the Slideshow
preferences pane. (Choose Keynote > Preferences, and then click Slideshow.)
Tips for Creating a Magic Move Transition
Magic Move doesn’t work with tables, charts, or movies.
For best results with a Magic Move transition, duplicate the slide and apply the Magic
Move transition between the original and the duplicate.
To set up a Magic Move transition:
1 Create a slide and place the objects (text, shapes, images) where you want them.
