Presentations in other formats

In Jalinga you can also use presentations created in other programs – PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote. For these programs, you need to export the presentation and download it in pdf format with the “no background” function. The key difference will be that there will not be any interactive elements in the presentation or certain formatting features.

PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote

A presentation created in these editors becomes static when you open it in Jalinga Studio, and a slide will be seen as a single object.

Static means no animations or dynamics (e.g., videos or gif files are replaced by still frame images).


Let’s look at creating a presentation in the most widely used program – PowerPoint.

To create a presentation, use a template available for download at this link.

At the bottom of the web page there are 2 types of templates: for white or black studio backdrops.

You can make additions to the template, by adding a logo for example.

To use a template, first open it. Then create a slide based on a corresponding theme.

Add information to the slide, except in the place where a person is drawn.

Do not use colored backgrounds and watermarks; it is better to create moderate and concise presentations on a white or black background.

Advantages of our templates:

- The silhouette of the person helps you to place information on the slide correctly
- Jalinga Studio recognizes the selected position of the speaker on the slide, you do not need to further adjust the position in the editor.

Don't forget to save the presentation as PDF!

 

Importing a pdf presentation

To open a PowerPoint presentation in Jalinga Studio, save the presentation in PDF format. To do this in PowerPoint, go to the

“File” > “Save as” and select PDF format. In some versions of PowerPoint, you can save in PDF format by going to “File” > “Export”. The saved PDF file can be loaded in Jalinga Studio by dragging it to the program window or clicking the Open button

1.    To load the presentation, click on the Open button.
2.    Load the file.
3.    To open the presentation in PDF format, you need to choose how to import the content.
4.    If you have used our template, you won’t need to worry about the position of the imported presentation. If you haven’t, you’ll need to select the position based on how you positioned the material.

Import contents in the center expands your presentation to full screen. Import left or right reduces the size of your presentation to approximately 2/3 of a slide, so space is left for the speaker. The opacity is best set at approximately 70.

Presentations in Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Canva

When creating a presentation in these programs, save it as a png with a transparent background. You then need to open the editor and add the presentation as an image file. Select all images at once.
