Hi,
I am new to prezi, and it seems to me a potentially useful and nice tool (although a surely major drawback is the lack of support for android).
With this question I'm trying to understand what are the limitations of using prezi for "videos" (autoplaying presentations) as opposed to user-controlled presentations.
I would really like to obtain something behaving like The Official Prezi Transition Tutorial (TOPTT) in Prezi Animations and Transitions page.
This is a prezi presentation, but plays seamlessly as a video by pressing a play button on the right side of the bar.
I'm not sure how to obtain that. I have parsed many questions about autoplay, and what I gather is
1) The only "flexibility" is to have prezi "slideshow" your frames in a loop, with different delays between subsequent slides (4, 10, 20 seconds).
2) Some issues exist with videos (embedded as opposed to streaming) and possibly with voice over.
3) People are being asking for more flexibility with frame delays for at least 4 years, apparently to little avail.
So I'm wondering, was TOPTT really created using prezi? I mean using prezi alone, no further cooking.
Unlike many prezis I have seen (including my only prezi achievement so far) TOPTT features a play button on the right side of the bar, instead of the autoplay setting on the left side.
Also, TOPTT can be stopped, and manually operated by using the arrows, like a standard prezi.
When autoplaying, it plays quite smoothly. It does not seem to me that the different frames are delayed by any fixed amount of time.
How was it done? Am I wrong on my characterization in 1)?
Thanks a lot for any insight
Francesco
