Getting Started
1. To create a Prezi, click on the "New Prezi" button.
Or, if you would like to work on an existing Prezi, hover over it and select "Edit" in the lower right corner of the preview.
2. After the new Prezi loads, either select "Blank" to start with a blank canvas or select one of the given templates.
Click "Choose."
Using the Toolbar
When creating your Prezi, you will use the Menu Bar (from left to right) to: Insert images, symbols & shapes, diagrams, YouTube videos, background music, files (pdf or video), and PowerPoints; and to chose a Template, theme, or to customize/edit the current theme.
Content (shapes, images, frames, etc.) is now adjusted using the Transformation Tool. You are using the Transformation Tool when a blue box appears around an object you are working with in your Prezi.
The [+] increases the size and the [-] decreases the size. The [hand] allows you to move the ojbect
To rotate the object, hover over one of the square corners until the rotate arrow appears:
To delete the object click the trash can button labeled [Delete] above the blue box.
Click anywhere on the Prezi canvas to add text.
When you are adding your own text, it defaults to "Body" text. You can change this by highlighting your text and selecting [Title] or [Subtitle]. The appearance of the text depends on the chosen template and theme.
You can increase or decrease the size of the text using the [A] buttons. The [>] arrow button offers additional formatting like bullets, centering, right and left align.
If you are using a template, replace "Click to add text" with your text.
Two way to insert video into Prezi. Click "Media" and select one of the following:
From File: Upload a video from your computer. Size is limited to 50MB. Many file formats are accepted (.mov, .mpg, .wmv, etc.). The FLV format is suggested.
From YouTube: Add the link to a YouTube video. You will need an Internet connection to play YouTube videos when presenting.
See Prezi's Inserting Video Files for more details on either of these options.
Once inserted, you can move and re-size video files with the Transformation Tool just like you can manipulate images and text.
Two ways to insert images into Prezi. Click "images" and select one of the following:
From Google Image Search: After selecting, a search box will appear. Search for the image you would like to add to your Prezi. Hit enter or click the magnifying glass to search. The results will appear on your canvas (see below). You can scroll through and select the image you would like to add. Hit enter once you pick an image.
