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.

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.

VideoScribe allows users to make use of pre-drawn and pre-animated images which are put together in a way that best suits ones presentation and then turns the whole thing into a slick little animation. So where GoAnimate creates a cartoon-style video, VideoScribe uses similar graphics that which will be drawn on-screen during the presentation with a real hand. Hence giving the feeling of someone sketch noting a presentation.

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 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.
