An Interactive presentation software

Prezi is a presentation software initially marketed as an alternative to Microsoft Powerpoint. The software provides users with an interactive canvas for organising information, as opposed to the traditional sequential slide layout.

Create visually stunning presentations

If you want to create and deliver a presentation that uses all that today’s technology has to offer, Prezi is the software for you. Instead of the standard text and image-based PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation, you can put on a show that’s unique and entertaining.

Workflow

You don’t need advanced multimedia skills to take advantage of the Prezi workflow. The program is straightforward and easy to use. Once you have created an account on the platform, you can get started creating your show.

To begin creating, you can either start with a blank canvas, import an existing .ppt slide, or choose a template. The Prezi template library is packed with selections, and you can pick from themes including General, Sales, & Business Development, Marketing, HR, and Education/ Non-profit.

Even when you choose a blank canvas, you’ll be shown placeholders to work with, so you don’t have to worry about coming up with the design from scratch. With a template, you’ll see template sample text and images to replace.

Moving elements around is straightforward and the controls are similar to any other presentation app. What makes this program so special is the fact that you create an animated path through the canvas, making for interesting transitions.

Path Making Mode

When you’ve ready to create the flow of your presentation, you can enter Path Making Mode. You’ll click on the individual areas where you want to zoom in and out. Each location and its settings will be saved as you go.

The interface is designed to keep you in tune with the ‘slide’ transitions A side column shows previews so that you can check to make sure the order you set is correct.

Interactive elements

One of the more recent additions to Prezi is the ability to incorporate audio and video. You can use the camera on your PC to record a video of yourself talking. There are included tools and templates so that you can get created with your clips.

The elements you can include with your video allow you to overlay graphics, writing, and images. Prezi also includes basic video editing tools so you can trim the beginning or the end. You can use these features to create a more visually stimulating presentation.

Collaboration

Prezi simplified sharing and coworking. If you want to give access to someone who wants to review or view your presentation, you can send a link. You’re also able to grant permission to individuals who need to edit your work.

This program is excellent for collaborating on group projects. When there are multiple people contributing, you’ll see the initials of every active participant on the screen as you’re working. This is similar to ‘Share Mode’ on Powerpoint.

While there is no chatbox on Prezi, you can present while on a conference video call and make comments. With the ‘Go Live’ feature, you can share your presentation in a meeting that’s taking place through Zoon or Cisco Webex.

The scope and availability of features depend on the tier of your account. With some service plans, Prezi offers analytics tools so that you’re able to keep track of data points, such as how many people have viewed your presentation.

Plans & pricing

There is a free version of Prezi, but the paid plans come with many attractive features and benefits. The Basic version is a free plan, but Basic+ will cost you. In terms of functionality, these are fairly similar, especially because you can make unlimited presentations without having to pay.

Free Prezi doesn’t allow you access to some essential features such as presenter view, voice-overs, privacy controls, and offline access. Luckily, there’s an affordable option for students and educators called EDU Plus.

Professionals also have various options designed for their business needs. The Business Team plan, for example, allows for up to 10 people and is charged on a per user per month basis. The prices and plans offered are all over the map, each tailored to specific working needs.

Compared to alternatives like PowerPoint, PowToon, and Visme, they have plans and pricing options that are very similar to Prezi. If you’re seeking free presentation software, then you can use the basic plan or Google Slides.

Issues

Aside from the fact that there are no chat tools for collaborators and a confusing plan and pricing system, one flaw of Prezi is that the tools often lack precision. Prezi’s tools are simplified, making it easy for anyone to edit, but often the controls don’t work.

Depending on the content that you’re creating, even something as simple as changing the font size can be tedious. You have to resize each element individually, so you can’t set the size to be consistent, and this is time-consuming.

It would be easier to work within this presentation software if it offered a full suite of tools for aligning and centering content boxes. Designers who are sticklers for precision will find the lack of options frustrating.

Another issue with Prezi for Windows is that the PEZ files will be saved on your local drive. This can be problematic, especially if you have limited storage space. If you’re going to be storing a lot of presentations, it’s best to keep data on an external drive.

One of a kind

Prezi is a great software for individuals who want to create lively and graphics-rich, talking-head presentations that will keep coworkers, superiors, and peers entertained. This program offers users flexibility and room for creative genius, and it’s a welcome alternative to classic slide software like PowerPoint and Google Slides.

Prezi isn’t for everyone. It’s best if users take advantage of the free plan and test out the software before paying for additional features. While Prezi is easy to use, there are limitations in terms of design tools and collaboration.

This software is one-of-a-kind and offers interesting features. The latest version allows for intriguing video conference presentations which is useful for the modern workplace.
