Presentation tools come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are designed to be used for presentations; some are meant to help you with your work or research, while others can be used for a variety of purposes. What is important when choosing the best presentation tool?
When do people usually use presentation tools? What features should they have? And what about audio – does it really matter if there’s sound or not? This blog post will answer these questions and more!
TechSmith Camtasia
Camtasia is a sound and video editing program that allows you to edit your audio, videos, cursor movement, and mic recording separately. You can also use Camtasia as an easy way to make screencasts because it has a webcam option where when activated by the user during screencasting session; all movements of the mouse are recorded on separate tracks in addition to anything written or typed while using keyboard shortcuts for designating images called callouts/markers for easier access later.
This means no more needlessly switching back between programs just so you end up forgetting what pictures were from which location! With features like noise removal (removing background noises) and leveling (adjusting volume), this software makes creating amazing content effortlessly, so anyone could do it.
PowToon
The interface is so straightforward; it’s basically like PowerPoint. Except for this time, you don’t have to go through all the editing screens – just pick a template and add images from their library (figures, backgrounds, speech bubbles, etc.), and voila! You’ve made your own presentation with Timeline.
This feature matches up nicely with the animation panel in PPT but has some obvious limitations; slides can only be 20 seconds long, for instance… Ah well, who cares? Sounds good enough to me anyway because PowToon also allows one sound per presentation, which means you get plenty of options: background sounds or music on top of whatever theme song we decide upon for the presentation (or whatever we might want to use).

Pros and Cons Of Presentation Tools
Pros of presentation tools
They are a great way to teach people. You can show something without having to talk about it verbally, which is helpful if you have students with hearing disabilities or other conditions that make them unable to listen and speak at the same time.
They allow you to present your lesson in a more interactive and creative way. You can also use them for lessons that are part lecture while still giving students the opportunity to interact with what’s being taught by answering questions or completing tasks.
Pro Tip
Always learn other presentation tools, do not stay in one application.
Cons of presentation tools
Presentation software does not always work properly on different computer systems, so there may be compatibility issues. The best presentation tool for your needs will depend on what kind of computer system you use; some computers don’t even come with enough memory or processing power to run certain types of presentations smoothly.
**Presentations often take up more space than text lessons because they require video files as well as any documents, images, etc., used in the project.
