I have shown them a Next prezi and the comment was, “Oh, it looks like PowerPoint was updated.” That is a telling statement. I have yet to make a NEXT presentation that our trainers like and can work with as much as with Classic. The window is very small to prove to your loyal subscribers to convince us NOT to leave Prezi. I do hope that updates will be coming soon. Those of us who became Prezi evangelists are finding it very difficult to admit that we even use Prezi Next because what wowed our trainers and audience with Classic is no longer doable with Next. The big question for my team is, “Will Classic be updated or will it just go stagnant with the hope that all who have used and love Classic will either leave the Prezi platform (hoping it is just a few) or be forced to lose creativity and conform to the current Next.” There are MANY functions that classic has that has caused NEXT to instantly be inferior to Classic when it comes to creativity and usability. I am hoping that Next’s updates come very soon because right now it is USELESS to us. honestly, I am a bit skeptical due to other similar experiences from other companies when they completely changed their product. Although we are convinced the future is in Next, we have everyone’s back covered as we take this journey together.

All of this is helping to drive the experience we create in Next.Įven though we are confident in the future of Next, we have taken steps to protect the investment you have all put into Prezi Classic. Beyond sharing emotions, we are also listening, reading through your posts here and elsewhere, and drawing inspiration from the content you create. Like many of you here, many Prezillians first fell in love with Prezi through Classic. Expect some of the features you are missing from Classic to make an appearance, and you will I am sure also be delighted by other features you won’t be expecting. We are learning from everything you all loved in Classic, and from everything you didn’t. Next is not only a shift in technology away from Flash, but the foundation for an amazing experience we would like to give all of you. I would like to second that we don’t have any plans to shut down Classic.
