If you have a website or make presentations, you're going to love this next freebie software package. Powerbullet Presenter is a comprehensive package for making impressive, professional animated slide shows and presentations - complete with the option to add sound - using the web-based language of Flash, meaning it's ideal for displaying on websites.
The first step is to download t - then follow the path through to the FTP site at Download.com. After installation you might be a little put off by the amount of buttons and functions on the toolbar. And whilst a lot of them will be familiar to those used to using graphics and word processing packages, a lot of them won't be. But it is worth persevering as it's not actually as complicated as it first looks. There's an excellent and very friendly forum on the website too, where you'll find no end of tips and lovely people willing to help out with advice.
My top tips for getting started - use the options under the Insert menu to add pictures and text boxes - you can animate these to come on and off the page using the Animation and Effects button, which looks like a little wand. Add sound by recording with the mic button, and the page+ button will add a new page for you to work with. Project & Export, or hitting CTRL+E will save the finished work in a file in your Documents folder. You can now publish the .swf file to the web for all to enjoy.
