Prezi Essentials

Overview of this book

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

Adding animations to your path

Along with controlling the pathway through your presentation, you may also wish to determine an order for content to appear within a path step. You can do this by adding animations to your path, which work much like animations in PowerPoint.

The following steps will show you how to add animations, but first you will need to ensure you have created a path to add the animation to:

  1. In the bottom of the panel to the left of the canvas, click on Edit Path.
  2. Select the path step you wish to add animations to, as shown in the following screenshot:
