Prezi Basics At A Glance

Getting Started:

  • Open a new project.
  • Double click and add all your text. Double click each time you add a new thought.
  • Drag text around to organize thoughts once they are on the canvas.
  • Use the Zoom buttons on the side to zoom into a word to hide phrases or thoughts.

Zebra Wheel:

  • Center wheel – move a phrase
  • Inner wheel – to resize and scale the text
  • Outer wheel – rotate the text ( use sparingly as it can make you car sick)

Adding images:

  • Collect all images first and store them in MY PICS or on the desktop for easy browsing
  • Click INSERT and BROWSE and then SELECT the picture/image needed and OPEN
  • Use the Zebra wheel to manipulate the image in the same manner as text

Adding Frames:

  • Frames help to create a new path…you would use a frame to center on a main idea before looking at the details of that idea
  • Choose a frame type…they all work essentially the same way…it is all about how you want your presentation to look
  • Draw the frame so that it encircles the text
  • Frames add an extra path step

Determine the Path:

  • Zoom out first so that you can see what your big picture looks like
  • Click sections of your canvas in the order that you would like it to appear in the presentation
  • To reset…undo a selection or start the process over completely
