• 00:00 - 00:00

  what's up?

• 00:00 - 00:03

  Friend brian fans, I social fans here, I'm gonna talk

• 00:03 - 00:06

  to a little bit today about Prezi video, but for

• 00:06 - 00:07

  a lot of people have seen me doing a lot

• 00:07 - 00:09

  of the Prezi videos that I've been, you know, kind

• 00:09 - 00:12

  of presenting with doing some videos with here, one of

• 00:12 - 00:14

  the things that I've heard a lot was like brian,

• 00:14 - 00:17

  it's you know, there's all tech savvy or brian, that's

• 00:17 - 00:19

  not my style and what I wanted to show us

• 00:19 - 00:22

  is like really the diverse options that we have for

• 00:23 - 00:24

  presenting and really leveraging.

• 00:25 - 00:27

  Prezi video and I've mentioned in some previous videos about

• 00:28 - 00:30

  I use it on zoom calls, I use it on

• 00:30 - 00:34

  virtual presentations, I'm either using it on my weekly videos

• 00:34 - 00:36

  here on linkedin as well.

• 00:36 - 00:37

  And so the thing I wanted to show it because

• 00:38 - 00:40

  you know, there are some dynamic ways that we can

• 00:40 - 00:40

  use it.

• 00:40 - 00:42

  Maybe you've seen some of the, you know, the overlays

• 00:43 - 00:46

  that I've created or maybe some of the interactive graphics

• 00:47 - 00:50

  that have done using a combination of different tools and

• 00:51 - 00:52

  using pulling in some graphics and animation.

• 00:53 - 00:55

  I've also got a little crazy and wild and added,

• 00:56 - 00:58

  you're kind of a combination of all of that and

• 00:59 - 01:01

  for me that it's all about kind of reinventing or

• 01:01 - 01:05

  kind of trying to push the limit, but really when

• 01:05 - 01:07

  it comes down to it, I mean my mantra has

• 01:07 - 01:10

  been really the same, right, right, right there is that

• 01:10 - 01:13

  it's press the damn button and put things out there,

• 01:13 - 01:15

  but for a lot of people that can still be

• 01:15 - 01:16

  a little bit overwhelming and so I wanted to show

• 01:16 - 01:18

  you and this is actually something pretty cool that we

• 01:18 - 01:21

  can do now inside of Prezi is actually want to

• 01:21 - 01:23

  show you what the dashboard looks like.

• 01:24 - 01:26

  So now you're actually seeing, I'm actually sharing my screen

• 01:26 - 01:30

  here on my desktop, which is another new feature that

• 01:30 - 01:32

  Prezi just rolled out, where I can actually share my

• 01:32 - 01:34

  screen inside of this live recording.

• 01:35 - 01:36

  So you can see these are some of the Prezi

• 01:37 - 01:39

  videos that I've created over over the time, but the

• 01:40 - 01:41

  thing I felt that I wanted to show you is

• 01:41 - 01:44

  yes, that's kind of like the back end of my

• 01:45 - 01:47

  dashboard with all the Prezi videos that I've created and

• 01:47 - 01:50

  trust me, there's many, many more that are going to

• 01:50 - 01:51

  exist down here.

• 01:51 - 01:53

  But what's kind of cool about that is you can

• 01:53 - 01:57

  actually go and visit my Prezi landing page on the

• 01:57 - 02:00

  Prezi site and view the videos that are uploaded natively

• 02:01 - 02:03

  to their platform, but probably even more important, you can

• 02:03 - 02:06

  actually check out the presentations I've created, right, so there

• 02:06 - 02:10

  are 42 presentations that I have uploaded onto the Prezi

• 02:10 - 02:12

  dot com that you can actually look at, you can

• 02:12 - 02:15

  get inspiration from and some of the times you can

• 02:15 - 02:17

  even reused or repurposed, some of the things that are

• 02:17 - 02:19

  out there and I can tell you that to me

• 02:20 - 02:22

  is one of these beauties of Prezi Video and let's

• 02:23 - 02:24

  say you have a different industry, I typed in cybersecurity

• 02:25 - 02:28

  here, you can actually search Prezi video for those that

• 02:28 - 02:33

  are presented on Prezi video are on cybersecurity, the topic

• 02:33 - 02:33

  of cybersecurity.

• 02:34 - 02:37

  So not only does Prezi video allow us to do

• 02:37 - 02:40

  some creative things, but even allows us to be able

• 02:40 - 02:44

  to find inspiration, learn from others and in some cases

• 02:44 - 02:48

  use what others have already created and to me that's

• 02:48 - 02:50

  pretty magical and that's really where you can kind of

• 02:50 - 02:51

  take this to the next level.

• 02:52 - 02:54

  And yes, you can still do some graphic overlays or

• 02:55 - 02:57

  maybe you don't have the graphics and you want to

• 02:57 - 03:00

  use, you know, maybe a graphics that Prezi has, so

• 03:00 - 03:03

  I can actually searched Reinvention and this is one of

• 03:03 - 03:05

  the the images that came up and I can is

• 03:05 - 03:07

  simply as click and add it to my presentation.

• 03:08 - 03:10

  Now I know for many like brian, that's cool, but

• 03:10 - 03:11

  I don't want to start over from scratch.

• 03:12 - 03:14

  Well guess what I've done, I've even done the idea

• 03:15 - 03:17

  of, well I've imported an existing power point presentations.

• 03:18 - 03:20

  One of the presentations that I give as a keynote

• 03:20 - 03:22

  is think like a fan and so I actually was

• 03:22 - 03:26

  able to import the slides from that presentation and as

• 03:26 - 03:29

  you can see, they play right here on video, they're

• 03:29 - 03:31

  not taking up the full screen, I'm not like just

• 03:31 - 03:33

  a little video up here in the corner, I can

• 03:33 - 03:36

  actually use these within an existing presentation.

• 03:36 - 03:38

  So as you might be able to tell right now

• 03:39 - 03:42

  in this Prezi video, I'm using a combination of pictures,

• 03:44 - 03:45

  I'm using a combination of graphics and images.

• 03:46 - 03:50

  I've done screen share, I mean imported my power point

• 03:50 - 03:53

  video, my power point presentations, so you can use those

• 03:53 - 03:53

  as well.

• 03:53 - 03:55

  There's so many different ways that you can actually create

• 03:56 - 03:59

  some dynamic Prezi presentations that I wanted to actually show

• 03:59 - 04:02

  you guys this presentation framework that Prezi has actually rolled

• 04:03 - 04:05

  out. It's so good that I I feel you have

• 04:05 - 04:07

  to take a full screen for a second here, but

• 04:07 - 04:09

  this is actually one of the things they've designed and

• 04:10 - 04:11

  I'm gonna share a link here in the comments for

• 04:11 - 04:12

  you guys to check this out.

• 04:13 - 04:15

  But for me, what is really interesting about this idea

• 04:16 - 04:19

  of reinventing our virtual presentations and how we show up

• 04:20 - 04:23

  on video is it does give us this opportunity to

• 04:23 - 04:25

  do new things and get creative, but we can't let

• 04:26 - 04:29

  this idea of being overwhelmed by what's possible stop us

• 04:30 - 04:32

  from well, you know, pressing that damn button.

• 04:33 - 04:35

  So do me a favor and check out Prezi video

• 04:35 - 04:38

  actually have a link in the in the bio or

• 04:38 - 04:40

  in the comments here, that you can actually get six

• 04:40 - 04:42

  months free trial of Prezi video to give you guys

• 04:43 - 04:44

  a little taste of what's possible.

• 04:45 - 04:46

  And the cool thing is you don't need any fancy

• 04:46 - 04:50

  gear, any fancy technology and as I've demonstrated in this

• 04:50 - 04:54

  video, you can do some amazing things all within Prezi

• 04:54 - 04:56

  video. You don't need other tools, other software and guess

• 04:56 - 04:59

  what it works with every one of the virtual platforms

• 04:59 - 05:02

  that I've tested out over over 60 of them.

• 05:02 - 05:03

  So definitely give it a shot.

• 05:04 - 05:06

  Thanks for checking out this one and stay tuned for

• 05:06 - 05:08

  more Prezi videos coming your way, cheers
