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: At first only a small market segment was expected to embrace this software. However, it has gained so much support as in the name of the popularly known whiteboard animations 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: With Powtoon, one looks forward to inspire an audience with a great pitch, emotional hooks and a story. With animated characters, one uses a story telling rather than fact telling. Most importantly, with a few modifications a user can create short animated video clips for use during presentations. So with the ease of learning how to use it, this software is a great relief to businesses and individuals in need of creating presentations that are different and engaging.

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.
