Prezi, just as many other widely used software, requires some basic training before one gets familiar with it. In order to avoid common failures with presentations, you must start with the basics, and the guidelines. It is common to try things out without putting much attention to the necessary procedures, and if this happens, you should get SHOT. Getting shot in this case is an acronym meaning Stopped, Helped, or Trained. Ideally, Prezi for beginners is about helping the beginners and training them to produce acceptable presentations.
The first timers get excited when they see a big and wonderful canvas that allows them to try everything. They can go up and down, left and right, and even in and out. However, if you try everything at once, you are likely to end up with the presentation that is swinging in and out, left and right, and with animations that are random and out of place. Imagine the situation where the picture is rotating at 37 degrees. Yes, this can be the case, and at this point, it is only appropriate that you are SHOT.
To start, the user should have a completely different mindset and approach. One must forget the Power Point and its slides. Here, everything is different, there is a room for creativity and innovation, and in order to realize its full potential, you have to approach it with a different philosophy. Unlike in the case of PowerPoint where you are limited with rectangles, you have the room to be imaginative and no need to be conserved.
The second step is to make a plan. Generally, there is a lot of freedom and this can be very tricky at times, however, there is a need of planning before you start your presentation. In case you are overwhelmed, by this unlimited space, image how a movie is planned, it goes step by step and the scenes are created, one after the other. The same thinking can help you in this planning.
The professionals advise that it is best to use the SWF files as this produces professional looking and more presentable Prezi that have great zooming effects. It also gives you give a bigger freedom in zooming in and out. Using the low resolution pictures results to horrible images on zooming and should therefore be avoided.
It is also advisable to use the SWF files since it gives professionally looking Prezi presentations that have great zooming effects. In contrast, using low resolution pictures can make the whole presentation look horrible should you try to zoom in or out.
If you are aware of the fact that a presentation is only successful if it is able to explain the topic is a manner that is simple, unique and unforgettable, and then you can visualize what really make a good Prezi. In order to achieve this, you have to use a logic structure in your presentation. The symbols used too should be relevant and well known by the audience. Lastly, try to use symbols as much as possible and reduce the use of words. It is often difficult to strike the balance between simplicity and uniqueness, but this is what is required.
Before anything else, always be considerate of the audience. Some of them are not good with fast moving objects. As such, it is best to avoid motion sickness. Instead, the transition from one presentation to the other should be smooth, gentle and very calm.
