Overview of this book

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

Chapter 4. Using Existing Content

We have explored most of the tools for creating a presentation and adding Prezi content, and so you are probably quite keen to learn how to add your own content. This chapter will guide you through the myriad of ways you can add your own content and different kinds of content you might want to add. To complete the tasks in this part of the book, you will need to have some content to use. It is also important to ensure it is in the correct file format. The following is a table of the accepted file formats:

Category	Formats
Images	JPG PNG SWF
Video	FLV F4V AVI MOV WMV F4V MPG MPEG MP4 M4V 3GP
Audio	MP3 M4A FLAC WMA WAV OGG AAC MP4 3GP
