As Andy suggested, I chose the option “Limit To Every 2 Frames” mov file into Photoshop was pretty straightforward. I just turned off Audio (not sure that was actually necessary) Finish it up in Photoshop I only had one slide in my deck with the animation, so I kept all the defaults (Playback Uses: Manual Advance), 24 frames per second. When you’re ready, export the file to Quicktime format. For example, the circle rotates and moves at the same time, that’s TWO actions) You “group” actions by using the “Start Build” drop down, which allows you to run actions at the same time. Everything you’ll need us under the “Build” tab of the inspector. The Keynote animation settings are a little fussy to get used to but there’s a lot already built in. Turn on the rulers and drag some guides so you can orient yourself as you’re working. You can pick any size that makes sense for your project. I choose 600×200 because that’s the width of graphics for my blog. You can change the size of the “canvas” in Keynote by setting the slide size in the inspector.

I made this animated GIF with Keynote and Photoshop. Yep, there’s finally a use for that setting. Pro tip: If ScreenFlow or After Effects aren’t in your budget, create your animation in Keynote, and export it as a video.
