How to create a stunning background effect in Prezi.com

[ZizabyeFromHolland]

very simply, but also very usefull and understandeble=]

goodjob

[imSoexclusive34]

awesome effect man thanks a lot. hey is there a way after you added the special logo into your prezi where you can change the color of the background of the entire prezi

[tosolini]

@imSoexclusive34 I'm not aware of such a feature, unless you duplicate the entire prezi to a different background and you simulate this effect by jumping to the next element that is on the new background.

[LordSandwich97]

Awesome! I saw this and did it a little different; I saved my title as a picture so when it zoomed in, it looked like a cool fading background.

[Vicentelombardia]

Really Amazing!! many thanks for sharing :-)

[CallOfDutyLover3]

yaay it worked thanks

[xxxxcubsloverxxx]

is there anyway to install the font without having a winzip account?

[tosolini]

@xxxxcubsloverxxx You might want to google 'free unzip' and you'll find several utilities that will let you unzip the font

[DavidPileGuitar]

thanks so much man!

[23HPFreak12]

That´s very very good!!!

Thanks!!

[EProf9]

Quite creative! Thank you so much for sharing :)

[noel12192]

is there any way i can add some kind of tune or music into the background for the show? also is it possible for the show to run by itself after clicking play rather then having to click for each slide?

[tosolini]

@noel12192 Prezi doesn't seem to allow adding a music background to your presentation, but you can put it into AutoPlay without the need to advance manually

[pheonixkey]

How can I turn my Prezi presentation into a video

[tosolini]

@pheonixkey To create a video out of your Prezi, you need to use a screen recorder app like Camtasia.com or Screenr.com

[alymae104]

um i copied the picture but when i zoomed its really blury so it doesnt look good please help me hope u comment back thank you

[tosolini]

@alymae104 To preserve the quality of your background, you need to start with a vector based image and save it into PDF. If you use a bitmap as the background, then when you zoom in it becomes pixelated and there is not much you can do, other than importing a high res version to mitigate the problem

[TheAandMmusic]

please helpp!! i did this turned out amazing but have a problem when i am creating the path i cant click on the last one the font so at the end it cant show the i love prezi part at the end. please help

[tosolini]

@TheAandMmusic To be able to click on the background image, you need to zoom out enough for Prezi to be able to display it all. otherwise Prezi will not let you select it. An alternative is to create a transparent frame around the background image and link to it.

[Ridhwanpop]

I don't have PDF for Windows Vista

[tosolini]

@Ridhwanpop There are several free PDF creators out there, like PrimoPDF.com and CutePDF.com

[esalazarmasaya]

Nice Trick! now i know how to import images and fonts that don't get pixel... :)

[YOUTUBAMOS]

You´re the Italian man that went to malta :D

[jpdt007]

itsa me, Mario

[mtthwdyr]

Nicely done!

[qqoqq0821]

Thank you so much for your sharing. I learned a lot. :-)

[virginiabush]

Awesome! I'm "this close" to signing up for Prezi. Can't wait to test it out!

[jerorullan45]

thanks a lot!! :D

[lyzr]

What program did you use to make the video and voiceover?

[tosolini]

@lyzr I used TechSmith Camtasia

[ZINE1010]

Thanks brother!!

[chrisslemke]

Thanx man

[MightyDawq]

dude i did this but my prezi freezes after i did this and it wasnt extremely zoomed in either, any suggestions?

[tosolini]

@MightyDawq Hard to say why it freezes, may be it's the zooming factor or something else. Sorry

[gulrea1]

it is great video! so clever! thanks.

[anechita1]

I doesn't allow me to click on the PDF file at the end to do the Grand Finale... Help pls!!

[tosolini]

@anechita1 There are a couple of ways to get the grand finale effect. You can select the PDF in your path, but you have to zoom out enough so Prezi will allow you to select it. Or you can create a frame around the PDF (again zooming out enough) and link that to the path.

[anechita12]

@tosolini Great, thanks. It woks with the frame.

[thedoctorhaste]

omg thank you sooo much!

[SpaRroWzim]

just started with prezi today! I was looking for HD backgrounds on google, but thanks to you I can make them myself now!!

Good luck and arrivePREZI!!

[CHASESTOTTS]

that is really cool but i dont have power point or word

[tosolini]

@CHASESTOTTS Any word processor running on your PC would do it, like the free Wordpad that comes with Windows.

[voyageree]

Thank you very very much Paolo! This is one of the best and more useful tutorials I have found about Prezi!! Please continue with this great job!! Greetings from Spain :)

[lark224]

Wow!!! That's pretty awesome! That's cool of you to share it with the world, I'm gonna try it. Thanks for your help, that's really a cool idea!

[noorie21t]

wow thats fabulous

im gonna try it

[HEYUITSMEJEN]

Thanks, this has nothing todo with your tutorial but i think you might know the answer. Anyway i was just wodering why i can't upload a photo from google images to Prezi. Do you know why I can't? Please answer!

[tosolini]

@HEYUITSMEJEN I have never tried to upload a photo from Google images, but if using the URL directly doesn't work, you might just download it first on your computer then upload it from there into Prezi. An easy workaround.

[HEYUITSMEJEN]

@tosolini Ok, I will try that! Thank you for helping!!!!(:

[kschoes]

Great Tutorial

I'm definitely going to use this =D

[rieja21]

[julienthebig]

[Watchdawg]

Hey! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you!

[tosolini]

@Watchdawg Happy to hear it's helpful!

[Merryyy203]

I like Prezi, but I started my first presentation today and I am having trouble.

The thing is: I write a title, title 1, and under ir I write some information. I create a frame in which title and text are together. I create the path. Now I wanna see it and it doesn't show both things. I have to create a path to the title and then the text. It made me dizzy. Lol.

Help?

[tosolini]

@Merryyy203 If in your path you link the frame that contains both text and image it should work

[Merryyy203]

@tosolini Thank you very much!!! =D

[AmyRoseCrew]

amazing!!!!

[dlomax100]

This is great! I can't wait to show my students. Thank-you very much. I really liked how clear and detailed your instructions were.

[iloveluci399]

Thank you SO much. You just earned me an A in class :D

[tosolini]

@iloveluci399 Happy to hear the tutorial was successful for you :-)

[xfavx5]

[ayala314]

[katieloftin]

I love the way you talk.

[joosthetspook]

Good tutorial Paolo, I already tried, the only thing I do not get is at the and going back to the main screen?? Tip? You crate a path at the and down i did not manged it? Cao

[djerry0]

@joosthetspook You need to click on the object that represents the background.

[hh12367]

Great video and idea! Thanks.

[grossstadthengst]

I love prezi... O_O

[ornitorrincoabc]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing, it really is a great way to solve a very common problem with Prezi images. I actually didn't remember you can upload PDFs. As always the simplest solutions are also the best.

Muchas Gracias ;)
