#Prezi classic vs next manual

Doing this involves all sorts of manual gyrations with the elements on screen making “reveals” just awful to program. Maybe you want to reveal things without first showing where they are on the canvas.

Adding subtopic forces those subtopics to be visible and moves your main topic to the left.

You can’t start your presentation conceptualization unless you first choose a template.

And it’s not because it’s HTML5 - because the new Prezi viewer converts Prezi Classic presentations with Vector objects into HTML5 - so I am clueless as to why Prezi is preventing this. So having analytics on who people saw on their own is nice, but is not going to help you have a conversational presentation.

Analytics is cool, but totally useless in the context of conversational presentation because sending a presentation for someone to view on their own is not a conversational presentation - that’s a transmission of information - like a video.

Mindmapping needs to happen now on paper or a whiteboard (or in Prezi Classic) (Annoyance Factor = 10)

You can’t use it as a canvas for ideation and mindmapping because the template you start with forces a mind map on your undecided presentation.

You can’t see everything on the canvas at once and are forced to remember what content you have where, hunting around and clicking into the different sections to find what you may have placed before.

Headings are forced to be the largest text in the subtopic, regardless if that subtext is a hidden animation later in the presentation.(If I’m wrong about these things or there are some good workarounds that I haven’t figured out yet - please let me know what they are - happy to learn and improve.)

There’s also presenters notes, commenting for when you are collaborating with others - and the analytics are cool too - but those shadow measures are for marketers more than they are for sales people that crave live engagement for conversational presentations that build trust that’s needed for sales.īelow are my top 10 things wrong with Prezi Next, all ranked according to the Annoyance Factor, with 10 being the most annoying. But the downside of gaining that speed is that your presentations will all start looking alike even though the concepts are fundamentally different. Sad.īut there are some good things about Prezi Next - like how quickly you can put a decent looking presentation together - without much thought. It’s become a tedious exercise of placing objects and forcing styles to behave the way you want them to instead of letting your creative energies relax and focus on what’s most important while considering all the details at the same time. In the end - and perhaps the most sad and wrong about Prezi Next is - that it is just no fun to create presentations in it. She puts the kabash on your creative process in order to get you putting your content in a hierarchical topic-then-subtopic view of your ideas. She makes you have to remember your content since you can’t scan everything quickly like you can do in PowerPoint slide scroll or in Prezi Classic. She forces you to color by the numbers and think in terms of an outline order that may not be clear to you at the time you are setting out to create a presentation. And, well, - turns out in my opinion she’s a problem child. So they got busy, had a baby, and they called it Prezi Next. It’s almost as if one night, Prezi met PowerPoint at the late-night hotel bar of a “How to supercharge user adoption” event, they got chatting about what the world needs is a bit of what they both have.
