Is it possible to Play a movie over multiple slides

I am running Keynote 9.1 and would like to play a filmed speakers presentation movie (head shot) in top corner his original multiple slide presentation. The sequence is 15 mins long and there are a series of 10 slides. The ultimate output will in itself be required to be a movie.


I would really appreciate some guidance / advice as to whether this is possible.


Best regards and thanks in advance.

It's not possible to play video over more than one slide in Keynote.


However the workaround works well and has the same appearance as multiple slides.

Place the video file and all the content from the 10 slides on to a blank new slide,

Then use Builds to display each object on the slide. Inspector Animate > Build In:

Use the objects list to keep track of everything on the slide: View > Show Object List:
