Ten Tips When Creating a Prezi

  1. Before you begin, get an approximate idea of how many sections you have.
  2. Begin from a template.  Once again, it is much easier to alter than to build from new.
  3. Look for a template that has your approximate number of sections.  It doesn't need to be exact, but it's a lot easier to go from three sections to four, than three to fourteen!
  4. Don't import a lot of images at once.  It will crash your prezi.
  5. If you must import a large amount of images, do it on a desktop.  This will have more processing power than a laptop.
  6. Use frames!  They let you emphasize what aspects you want, while still seeing all necessary information.
  7. Use an overall shot when you begin a section.  It lets the audience see what's coming.  Then, zoom in on your frames that you've placed to emphasize something.
  8. Don't write everything you're going to say.
  9. DO have a script of what you're going to say!
  10. Stay aware of your paths!  Make sure to go through the presentation a final time before presenting it.  Paths have a way of moving around when you thought you had them set.
