![]() ![]() Prezi classic dashboard trial#There can be a lot of trial and error involved in seemingly straightforward transitions. Also, the animation tools are interesting but can be frustratingly imprecise. To get the look we want here at ProPoint, we necessarily prepare a lot of our content in external applications and import the assets into Prezi as jpegs or movies. It would be nice if the content creation engine was more robust. Tons of potential, but not yet fully formed. On a technical level, Prezi feels a little like an application just reaching its gawky teenage years. The zoom animations are fun, but they alone won’t make for an engaging and unique presentation if they’re just there to keep people awake. While pretty, many of the samples in the gallery start to feel the same after a while. Chris Anderson uses his ferris wheel to great effect because it actually means something within the context of his presentation. Prezi works best when the presentation creator has a strong theme to follow and designs around that. However, there is more to presenting than nice looking graphics and animations. Plus, Prezi’s capacity to include multimedia (video, Flash, etc.) all helps to further a dynamic experience. The presentation looks fresh and a whole lot more interesting than slides and slides of bullets. In some of the prezis we’ve created for clients, we have used a similar approach to representing the “big picture” by utilizing one main graphic comprised of smaller graphics that essentially make up the whole. In this particular live example from the 2010 Global TED conference, Chris Anderson has used a Ferris Wheel graphic to thematically reinforce his thesis that cultural learning accelerates when individuals can witness and react to online video halfway around the world (or in this case, in another metaphorical car of his ferris wheel). It’s a great way to reinforce a particular narrative or theme. The viewer/presenter can zoom in and out, from one focal point to the next. All of your content is laid out in one big graphic. Take a look at the sample gallery to get a sense of what we’re talking about. Instead of creating a deck of discrete PowerPoint slides that the presenter cycles through in a linear sequence, a prezi is set up more like a large whiteboard drawing. One of the most striking (and identifiable) features of a prezi is its signature pan and zoom animation. In sum, it’s got a ton of potential, but still has a way to go before it can challenge PowerPoint and Keynote for the presentation heavyweight belt.įirst, the positives. Below is a brief synopsis of the application as we see it currently. Prezis can be viewed in a web browser, offline, or via the Prezi iPad viewer. Prezi is a cloud-based multimedia presentation creator that allows you to frame your presentation in an animated, interactive, whiteboard format. ![]() One thing that we’ve had our eye on for some time, and which has been coming across our desks more as of late, is Prezi. ![]()
