Download Prezi Presentation
Muredac Boule
I write a CSS snippet to create a transparent card. I think that combing it with the plugin is helpful to get a Prezi-like result. Using a transparent style, you can insert an image without any file name and create transparent cards on the part which you want to focus on the image. Then you can use the plugin to focus on the image and the cards.
Hi there, thanks for this snippet! It makes the card itself invisible but the text in the card that gets created by the Presentation plugin, e.g. Slide: d088f948bf51ada8 is still visible. Is there a way to make the text in these cards invisible too? Thanks
However, all cards with color-1 will have invisible content and this is not the purpose of the snippet. After all, the card created by the Presentation plugin will not affect your presentation. Maybe ask the plugin creator to store these tags, e.g. Slide: d088f948bf51ada8 with json format in the plugin directory instead of directly in Canvas.
I read about the work-around, but I don't want my clients to run the risk of something going wrong and the presentation not working properly. That's the reason I love Keynote, one file and everything works.
I don't want to import my Keynote slides into Prezi, I want to do it the other way around. Prezi will only be suitable for a small portion of my presentation so it doesn't make sense to do everything else in Prezi as well.
I have not tried this so I am not sure. But here is an idea. First downlonad the Prezi player and your Prezi (this is free with your Prezi subsription). Then, in your Keynote, place a hyperlink that connects to the Prezi on your computer. This should let you click on the Prezi link in your Keynote. the Prezi should play, and then you click back into keynote after the Prezi. Good luck on other suggestions.
I would probably say that you can't necessarily inport a prezi presentation as is without somehow converting it into a media file (such as mov or m4v, for example). But then, you wouldn't have much control over the timing of the transitions.
What you could do, however, is manipulate the prezi transitions using Magic Move. I don't think you would get the same bounce-in, bounce-out effect, but if there's a way you can export the prezi as a pdf or some sort of an image file, you can bring this one file into every slide, and rearrange that file so that the Magic Move makes it look like you are moving from one location to the other like what you see in Pezi.
Record the Prezi presentation using a screenrecording program (such as iShowU). Just keep pressing the arrow to go to the next slide but leave it at each slide for a couple of seconds. This way each slide will be visible for a couple of seconds before it changes to the next.
Go to the first slide of your Keynote presentation and let the Prezi video play. Write down the time it starts and when the first full slide is visible. Then use Inspector (in Keynote) to let the video play from the time the Prezi video starts until the full slide is visible. This way the video will only play from the start until the full Prezi slide is visible in the video.
Now go to the second slide in Keynote and use Inspector to have to Prezi video start at the same time the Prezi video in the first Keynote slide stops. Let the video play until the second slide is fully visible and then use Inspector to have the video stop at that precise time.
All you have to do in Keynote, is make sure the transitions between slides are as fast as possible so you don't see the transition between slides and make sure the video starts playing when you go to the next Keynote slide.
If you've done it correctly, you will start with the first Keynote slide showing the first transition of the Prezi video. Take all the time you want to talk and when you're done, just go to the next Keynote slide. The video will begin to play, showing you the cool effects you can use in Prezi, and when the full slide is visible, you can start talking. Done talking? Go to the next Keynote slide and the video will start to play.... etc etc etc!
The best thing you can do is make the Prezi a movie you can import into Keynote. I never risk running something over the internet if I can help it. Or, if you have the capability, run the Prezi from one computer and the Keynote from another and switch the outputs to the projector. I wish things like Prezi would just go away and that people would concentrate on making the content they have more interesting on its own. In most situations, using Prezi is like putting chocolate on a turd thinking people will like consuming it better.
We would like to track if customer opens the Prezi presentation. We are logging the opening of presentation, and how long they are watching it, and which pages. Is this possible to connect to CRM module, and get it on the company?
As there is no marketplace connector for Prezi currently, your only option would be to create an API interface with HubSpot - either directly or via an integration platform like Zapier or Tray. Unfortunatly, these platforms do not have pre-existing connectors, and that may be explained by the fact that I can not locate API documentation for Prezi anywhere. So it may not be possible at all at the moment. If you can find docuemented API endpoints for Prezi, or a middelware that is already connected, that changes everything.
Infinite zoom out: Start at the highest zoom level and add new material by zooming out further and further. The previous material will appear as a trail of little specks after a while. This might be a pretty cool effect.
Finally, I wish prezi added the possibility to swap canvases during the presentation. If it had that feature, it would have the best of both worlds. One could do regular powerpoint presentations (each new slide is a new canvas), pure prezi-style presentations (each new slide is just a different viewport on the same canvas), and hybrids (e.g., a different canvas is used for different major parts of the presentation). I suspect that some clever people could make really cool presentations with a system that allows for the hybrid design.
Over this past summer, I've been leading a team of archaeologists from the Campus Archaeology Program in a massive archaeological survey across Michigan State University's campus. The goal of the project was to check the area for artifacts and historical features in the landscape prior to construction. At the end of the project we were left with a huge number of artifacts, photos and data about this area. In order to present this information to the public we write it up in a site report and blog about it. While the reports are straightforward and informative, they can be a little dry and not very visual. In order to create a more dynamic summary of our work we decided to make a presentation we could put online. We decided to use Prezi, an alternative slideshow program which is more dynamic than Powerpoint or Keynote, and allows for more flexibility in design.
Prezi is lauded as the presentation software which connects linear and non-linear data through its zoomable user interface. Text, images and other media are placed onto a large canvas, much like creating a poster. From there, the user creates a map by which viewers can zoom into specific areas of the canvas to get a closer look at specific media and text. This allows for a more dynamic experience of the material. The base level of this web-based software is free, and you can get a slightly upgraded version using your .edu email address. For a good example of using Prezi in the classroom, check out Shawn Graham's Adventures in Gamification.
1. Flexibility: Unlike Powerpoint where you are given templates and restricted to a box, Prezi is a blank slate where you can exercise complete freedom on what will be included and how it will be displayed. You have complete creative control over where your items will go and how they are formatted. While you also have this to some extent in Powerpoint, in Prezi it is more open and freeform, which is an advantage for people who want this.
2. Unique: Since you begin with a blank slate, it is unlikely that your presentation will look like anyone else's. Also, since the program isn't widely used, it may grab attention better than those which are outdated and overseen.
3. Web based: Prezi is located on the web, so you don't have to worry about uploading your presentation to a jumpdrive or having compatibility issues with different computers. It also means that you can collaborate on the presentation live with other people. During our project we had three people working on different sections from different locations, so having a web based software was important.
3. Works well for some projects: The dynamism and non-linear structure can work really well for certain presentations. For our archaeology project we have a large map with all of our survey work labeled on it. We are able to show the entire map, zoom into a specific portion of the dig, show the artifacts found, and then zoom back out to the big map in order to refocus on a new area. Having this function is nice for an archaeology presentation since location and context are so important.
1. Can be overwhelming: Given all the available functions and ways of setting up the presentation, it can be a little overwhelming to some. Having a blank slate isn't always great and I found myself often falling back into my powerpoint design patterns.
2. Easily distracting to viewers: One needs to be a little careful on using the zooming user interface. While all the zooming and spinning functions are great and can be incredibly useful, they can also be nauseating and distracting. Overuse of these functions can leave viewers with a bad impression of the presentation, even if the content was good.
