You retain a good overview, and find relations. Prezi helps you think about what you want to say.
Then drag your mouse to draw a Frame
Hold down shift while drawing to create a 4:3, projector aspect ratio Frame
Or to focus on parts of a sentence
This will take you to Show mode, where:
- Click on an object to zoom to it
- Click the background to zoom out
- Use the up/down keys to zoom in/out
Hint: You can press space any time to toggle between edit mode and show mode. You can even just hold down space, click to navigate, and release it, and continue editing.
Then click on the objects you want in the Path.
Once you have your text and frames in place, it's time to create the storyline
Using the Path:
- you can easily present with a remote clicker.
- When you embed your prezi in a blog, visitors will find it much easier to navigate.
Think of it like planning a journey.

Hi,
Next Step:
I would like to show you how you can easily create a fantastic prezi.
Will show it on a Friday

We relate to great past projects
Do it with Prezi
Click on Insert, and 'Load File' to upload an image
2.
Move things around
You can use shapes, arrows too
If you don't have a clear structure for the prezi in mind, simply put in what you can think of:
Ideas, details, Images.
Once they are all on the canvas, it will be easier to find the structure and write key statements.
How to Start?
This is the Bubble Menu.
It has most of the tools you will use. Click on a bubble to activate it.
Click on an object, and you'll see the Transformation Zebra
This is how you use the Zebra:
In Prezi you create hierarchy with size.
Scale up important points, arrange related details, and develop them with text and images.
By Doing this:

If you know what you want to say, just start writing.
Prezi can help if you need to develop your ideas first.
Here are 3 good ways to start:
You can also simply reuse a prezi made by someone else (if it has been shared for reuse)
This can provide inspiration. Don't worry now about the actual topic: if the layout or structure makes sense, start editing the text...
Do it with Prezi:
The result will be very visual--even without using images or clipart.
Now you have a great overview of your ideas
Double click to write text or to edit existing text

And of course, this is an iterative process.
By using Prezi's simple interface, you can develop your ideas, how they relate, and how you can show them.
Find the Focus
Imagine if your prezi was this photo
Similarly, you can talk about your ideas, various parts, how they relate to each other...
You could talk about the cat, the cows, or the whole barn. and use zoom to take pictures of each.
This is a Frame
Related Arguments
Message
Related Arguments
And focus on the important parts
Do it with Prezi:
Click on Frame on the menu, and choose a type
You'll see a small mark while editing at the top, to indicate 'up'
Circular frames are great to show a strong focus.
And, they are easy to see when zoomed out.
Bracket frames are more subtle, and relate more to the final view.
So you can add details
One more thing...
The last Frame type is a filled rectangle, which works well as a backdrop over images. It creates the most 'slide-like' experience.
To see how your words, images, and frames will appear when presenting, click on Show.
so, you can:
- Write text with doubleclick.
- Play with layout using the zebra
- Find focus points using frames
