Animate your frames

1.   You can only animate objects or text inside a frame.
2.   Click on ‘Edit path’ on the left hand side column.
3.   You will see a little star next to the number of each frame. Click on it.
4.   The same star appears on the frame in the main canvas. Click on it again.
5.   Now click on the little green star you will see next to each object in the frame.
Note: Animation is very limited in Prezi.


Use tunnel effect

This is a type of motion where an object zooms out of or into another object (picture, words, shape, etc.)

To achieve this effect one object has to be disproportionately enlarged and the other extremely minimised. You will need to play with the zoom in order to place the smaller object in the right place and achieve the desired effect.


Note that if an item is greyed out, it becomes inactive. Ask me for a demonstration.
