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: Prezi executes nonlinear presentations. While being an excellent web app, it is considerably simple to use and the interface is one which is quite familiar since it resembles the traditional slide layout the user is used to. Packed with simple tools for formatting text, images and other kinds of editing, Prezi is worth the credit. As a web-based application, Prezi allows users to access and carry on with their work and presentations from any computer. Collaboration on the same project is also an added feature one will consider worth paying attention to.

GoAnimate : Hand-animated videos consume lots of time to make since they are difficult to make. On the other hand, expensive equipment might also be necessary to get the job done. GoAnimate proves to be a useful software in such situations. Not only will it offer the user with film like animation effects, but also cuts down the cost and time needed to make professional presentations.

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: Think of stimulating ones audience with great pitch, emotional hooks and a story and think of Powtoon as the way to go. Animated characters are used to create a story to tell instead of facts to present as it is in the case of PowerPoint presentations. Easy modifications to Powtoon will get one creating a short animated video for presenting.

Google Docs help individuals create and edit presentations for free and easily. One also enjoys the convenience of collaborating with other individuals on the same projects. The ease of customizing images and text as well as importing of slides and videos from PowerPoint adds more valuable features to the list. It is possible to easily share presentations with the audience.
