To create your Presentation from within Visme:

Key elements your Presentation should include: 

Title Slide: The title slide serves as the first impression of your presentation and typically includes the title of your presentation, your name or organization, and any relevant logos or branding.

Agenda: Outline the structure of your presentation with an agenda slide that lists the main sections or topics you will cover. This helps orient your audience and provides a roadmap for what to expect.

Introduction: Introduce your presentation with a brief overview of the topic, its relevance, and the objectives you aim to achieve. This sets the context and prepares your audience for what’s to come.

Main Content Slides: Organize the main body of your presentation into clear and concise slides that focus on individual points or sections. Use headings, bullet points, and visuals to convey information effectively.

Visuals and Multimedia: Incorporate visuals such as images, graphs, charts, and videos to enhance understanding and retention of key points. Visuals should complement your verbal content and serve to reinforce your message.

Supporting Evidence: Provide supporting evidence, examples, and data to substantiate your points and build credibility. Use credible sources and research to back up your claims and strengthen your argument.

Consistent Branding: Maintain consistent branding elements such as logos, colors, and imagery throughout your presentation to reinforce your brand identity and create a cohesive visual experience.

Slide Transitions and Animations: Use slide transitions and animations to add visual interest and keep your audience engaged. Avoid excessive or distracting animations that detract from the content or slow down the presentation.

Conclusion: Conclude your presentation with a closing slide that provides closure and leaves a lasting impression. End with a memorable closing statement, call to action, or next steps for your audience to take.

Q&A Slide: Dedicate a slide for questions and answers at the end of your presentation. Include instructions for how audience members can ask questions or participate in a discussion.

How to Export and Share your Presentations:

Now that your project is completed, the next key step is to showcase it and share it with your audience.

When considering how to share or present your presentation in Visme, it’s important to take into account your audience’s preferences and the technical capabilities available during the presentation.

Let’s review Visme’s export and sharing options below to help you determine which one is right for your presentations.

Exporting Options:

PDF: PDFs are a popular format for sharing presentations, especially for on-demand viewing or as follow-up resources. Keep in mind that PDFs are static, meaning they don’t support animations or videos. However, hyperlinks and slide “jump to” links function well in PDFs.

PPTx: Exporting to PPTx format allows you to edit your presentation in PowerPoint, which can be useful for collaborative work or if others need to modify the presentation. Similar to PDFs, many of Visme’s animations and interactive features will be flattened in PowerPoint.

Sharing Options:

Publishing: Use Visme’s publishing options to share your presentation online via a link. This allows viewers to access the presentation easily from any device with an internet connection.

Present Button: Use the Present button within Visme to present your slides directly from the platform, offering a seamless and interactive viewing experience.

On-Demand Presentations:

Presenter Studio: If your presentation will be viewed on-demand, you may find it beneficial to use Visme’s Presenter Studio feature. This tool enables you to capture yourself presenting the presentation via video recording, allowing your audience to view it at their convenience.
