Learning how to use this tool to run a presentation can happen in a few minutes, but mastery takes longer. Here are seven common mistakes to avoid when using ProPresenter: 1) Editing Individual Slides Instead of Making TemplatesĬhanging the look of slides might seem like a pretty cumbersome process if they had to be edited one at a time. A better way would be to create a template. This makes the process MUCH faster.įirst, to edit a slide, right-click on it and select “Edit slide” (or using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl-E”) to make it look the way that you want all your slides to look. Then, exit the editor by clicking the “X” in the upper left-hand corner of the editor (or hitting “Ctrl-E” again). Next, right-click on the slide you just edited and scroll down to “Template” and choose “Save selected slide(s) as Template Group.” Then, name the new template something that’s both memorable and makes sense. Click “Save” and the template is created. Once the template is created, select any of the slides in that document, hit “Cmd-A” ( or “Ctrl-A” on Windows) to select all the slides.
Then right-click on one slide and select “Templates,” then select the template you just created.
