Any Prezi experts?

Can you import a ppt directly into Prezi and get it to all fit into various slides routes?

If so, how?

I used to use it a lot.   But I can't help because I never got the ppt. import feature to work cleanly.

I always thought they would be onto a winner if they could get the ppt importing and exporting to work better.  If they don't do it, I am sure ppt will steal the prezi functionality instead... eventually,  I have been saying that for at least 7 years.

It gets a bit tiresome after a while if its overused, just like ppt animations, but its massively refreshing if you take it to an organisation that has only ever seen ppt

I like the simple salted ones best.

prezi is only marginally more useful than trying to convey information via interpretive dance.

All I can remember of the Prezi presentations I've seen is the motion sickness.

by the way no one should take my comment as an endorsement of ppt either!

It's no worse than those early, overly animated ppt disasters in that respect.

Prezi needs a bit of self control just like powerpoint

Indeed - I know it's unfair to blame Prezi for it.

Semaphore or morse code?

Love Prezi, but I've only made fresh.
If I want to import a slide or two as is from a PPT (I normally want to improve them), then I just screenshot and add them as pictures.

No.

More than once have had to kill (sorry, deal with) an errant colleague who decides to do their contribution to a powerpoint presentation in Prezi - they can't be easily merged or one embedded in the other.
