Many times, using PowerPoint may not be enough. You might want a presentation with moving backgrounds, shaking pictures, and the ability to output to Flash or DVD. Most of the time, I won’t recommend creating a business presentation on those lines, but I do know that there are occasions where such presentations are required — especially if you want to create a quick kiosk presentation, something for a tradeshow booth, or even a quick advertisement video! And if such presentations can be exported to Flash or AVI files, then there’s no reason why you cannot add those movies to the opening slide of your PowerPoint presentation!
Our review product today is called Slide Effect — while it uses the presentation and slide metaphor, it creates output that looks more akin to something created with more expensive and complicated programs.
