Hi, you can move groups of objcts indeed with the Zebra tool. To do that, you must press and hold the shift key, then drag a rectangle around the required objects wuth your mouse pressing and holding the left button. When you release the button, the Zebra will appear over the whole group of selection and you are ready to move the group togeter.

One of prezi’s “learn” videos shows how to put a frame around a group of smaller frames. Then it’s supposed to be possible to move the whole “contraption” around, meaning you can use the Place function to move everything enclosed within the largest frame. I can’t get this to work. I’m only able to move the frame itself or an individual object within the larger frame.

Have I misunderstood the video?

I am a paid customer. When I download my Prezi preso for offline use and open the preso, it comes up with the Prezi logo while it is loading. Is there a way for this not to come up?

Is there a way to embed links into a prezi presentation? Where the embed would show up and can play during the Prezi presentation?

Hi, thanks for the ideas! We usually consider our user’s suggestion but cannot promise to develop everything.

If Prezi could do three things, it would turn into an effective online presentation medium as well as a strong medium for in-person presentations: (1) help the user distinguish the audio track from the video track in a video recording of someone’s presentation; (2) help the user extract video clips from the video track in a video recording and (3) allow the Prezi user to invoke the audio as a constant while the video moves back and forth between the video clips and the other Prezi objects in the presentation. With those three functional features at his disposal the Prezi user could begin by simply making a video recording of his presentation; then he would design Prezi objects to accentuate and emphasize various points for the audience’s experience of the video talk; then he would build a Prezi with the audio running in the background while he clips out portions of the video track, allowing him to flip back and forth between video clips of the presentation and Prezi clips that become visible in place of the clipped out segments.

These three features would allow Prezi users to design their presentations in a natural way where the presenter can make finer judgments about the impact of the Prezi objects relative to those sections of the presentation when the audience no longer needs to look at the Prezi screen and their attention returns to the person of the presenter. More important, the presenter can lay out the entire presentation and slot in the Prezi objects rather than the considerably more difficult and daunting task of having to build up the presentation from the bottom up.

I would like to search Showcase by Author – can I do that? If not does that mean I have to include my name in the title/description for it to be searchable? Guess so. Comment above above a Portfolio search, but I came after it disappeared. Mike

Yes, voice would be awesome! I could save so much time teaching if I had audio and video together, just like a classroom.

Hi David,

You should drag a frame around sets of content, and add the path on the frames instead of the content within them. These frames will then be act as bordes of a set in show mode. This way the contents of a frame will be visualized in fullscreen mode and not a specific piece of content.
