Not to be confused with Magic Movie, Magic Move is a Keynote feature that creates a smooth animation between slides, with the individual slides acting as the keyframes. Whatever the state of slide one, it will transition to look like slide two when you place a Magic Move transition on it. It’s a tool principally used for jazzing up slide transitions with ease, but it also has uses in animating objects for videos.
