Prezi is a presentation creation web application that allows you to create presentations consisting of text, images, and videos. Prezi differs from traditional presentation software by using a single canvas and frames as opposed to conventional slides. This allows you to create dynamic, non-linear presentations. This article will walk you through the process of creating a new Prezi presentation.
