Prezi - Creating a Path

In order for your Prezi to flow from one pocket of information to the next - you must create a path.  A path is just a numbered order of how your presentaion flows.  To do this......

  1. Click on the PATH circle then click on the ADD button.
  2. Click on the First object (picture, text, frame...) - a (1) should appear on your screen.  Notice that as you hover over an object a shadow will appear of that object.  When the shadow appears that lets you know what object you will be selecting.
  3. Continue clicking - object to object - in the order that you desire. 
  4. Make sure that your project ultimately circles back to the beginning - so make sure that the last thing in your path is the SAME as the first thing in your path.  (this is just a personal preference)
  5. Please keep in mind that part of your PATH can be multiple items that you may have included in an individual frame.
  6. When done, SAVE (upper right corner) then click on the grey SHOW circle.
  7. Place your mouse in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and a tool bar with arrows will appear that will allow you to click so that you can see how your presentation flows.  If you make a mistake, simply go back to the PATH circle and make the needed change....
