Possible Presentation Programs Better Than Powerpoint

By Tammie Caldwell


Ever since Microsoft released PowerPoint businesses have used PowerPoint for sales presentations, idea pitches and even for webinars. Until recently there have been no programs better than PowerPoint.

Prezi : Nonlinear presentations can be easily tackled using Prezi, which is an excellent web app. In addition to its simplicity when using, it also has an interface similar to the traditional slide layout that which most users are used to. The simple tools needed for formatting text and other forms of editing are also part of the package. Prezi allows a user to access presentations from any computer since it is a web app. Collaborating on the same presentation with others is also made possible as a result.

GoAnimate: GoAnimate is another program. Think of the kind of resources and time one needs to create even a short film and the importance of animation apps like GoAnimate will become evident. With this piece of software, users can achieve film like animation effects at a far much lower cost even in regard to time required to finish creating a professional presentation. On top of it all is the ease of conveying ideas and concepts creatively and interactively using animations.

With the much needed audio support, GoAnimate can also produce characters which are given dialog using voice recordings of the user, or commercially available recordings through professionals offering similar services. Built-in lip sync gives characters more life. Music and sound effects offer more creative ways of getting presentations to be more interesting and interactive.

VideoScribe: Even though it started by securing a little niche for itself, VideoScribe has gained popularity as it is evident by those fancy whiteboard animations that have become a huge hit across the Web.

Using pre-drawn and pre-animated images which the user puts together, one can create a presentation which ends up into a slick little animation. The result is an on-screen like presentation whereby a real hand sketches the story as the presentation runs.

It is amazingly simple to put together a VideoScribe . A user drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, and then let the app do its own magic. The impact this kind of presentations have upon an audience is great especially if PowerPoint presentation was their expectation.

Powtoon: Powtoon is necessary when in need of arousing the audience with great pitch and emotional hooks alongside an interesting short story, Powtoon presents the user with all the tools needed for the job. A story is created using animated characters. With a few and easy modifications to Powtoon, one can start creating a short animated video for use as a presentation.

Google Docs: Most individuals have a Google account which is free as well as Google Docs. Considering the ability to collaborate with others on the same projects is also very convenient for one to complete working on presentations in cases where teamwork is vital. Presentations can also be easily customized with images and text as well as importing of slides and videos. Sharing presentations with other people for downloading is also an option. Lastly, since importing PowerPoint files is n option, the work of recreating presentations already in PowerPoint will not be necessary.
