We use animation in Prezi to temporarily withhold information, to create a surprise effect, or just for beautification and a wow effect.
Take a look at the following screenshot, where frames on the path have a star next to their number; this is visible only in the Edit Path mode:
Our prezi, as shown in the preceding screenshot, is now in the Edit Path mode.
The stars are animation stars. They are Prezi's way of telling you that a step can be animated. Our steps 1 and 2 both have the star, so they can be animated. If a step has no star (such as step 3), it cannot be animated.
The reason for the difference is that steps 1 and 3 are frames. Any content...
