Possible Presentation Programs Better Than Powerpoint

By Tammie Caldwell


Any form of presentations, be it idea pitches or sales presentations have been done mostly by means of PowerPoint since it was launched by Microsoft. Businesses have had 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: Just like it is with any filming, hand-animated videos are time-demanding and hard to make. Let alone the expensive equipment required for the task. That is where animation apps come in to the rescue. With GoAnimate, users do not just get similar animation effects, but also realize its a far cheaper and time saving option. This makes GoAnimate perfect for presenting information one would have struggled to explain with a PowerPoint slide deck.

Beyond animating graphics, GoAnimate also supports audio. Characters can be given dialog by uploading voice recordings or outsourcing them. Characters automatically get built-in lip sync animations. In addition, GoAnimate offers a variety of music and sound effects bringing animations to life.

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.

Pre-drawn and pre-animated images are presented to the user for assembling in a manner that he or she likes in order to create a presentation which ends up into a slick little animation. GoAnimate presentations results in a cartoon-style video while VideoScribe uses the same graphics to come up with a draw on-screen like presentation, whereby a real hand sketches the graphics as one goes along. This creates a feeling of someone sketching a presentation.

Since it is simple to use, presentations can be created without struggle and need for dedicating hours to the projects. One simply drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, and leaves the rest of the job to the software to handle. Within a few minutes, the audience will be enjoying a well done presentation.

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.
