Adobe Presenter For Powerpoint Mac

Adobe Presenter 11.1: Proceed With Caution I have to admit I have a soft spot in my heart for. I have used it since 2005 when it became the first eLearning tool that could be used without having an advanced degree in computer science. It was known as Macromedia Breeze back then, and it became the model for other very similar tools, including Articulate Presenter, iSpring Presenter, and Lectora Snap.

However, there are a few alternative software products similar to Adobe Presenter that work on MAC systems. Here are some listed below: Adobe Presenter Video Express -- a stand alone application that lets you create a slide show and screen cast with narration in Video Express and then export to either YouTube or DropBox.

Adobe purchased Macromedia in December 2005 and took control of Macromedia Breeze, along with Flash and several other high-profile tools, including Breeze’s webinar tool (now Adobe Connect) and Macromedia Dreamweaver (now Adobe Dreamweaver). Because of the wide variety of tools involved in the purchase, Adobe Presenter experienced slower progress with upgrades, and Articulate Presenter soon surpassed Adobe Presenter in features and functionality. Why the history lesson? Well, I’m sorry to report that Adobe seems to be neglecting Adobe Presenter again, and my evaluation of Adobe Presenter 11 was a bit disappointing. Timing Is Everything?

It’s possible that the timing of this article is just bad for Adobe Presenter, but there has not been a significant upgrade since version 11 was released over three years ago. In ‘software app’ time, that’s a very long time – and in ‘eLearning app’ time, it’s an eternity, especially with the importance of transitioning from Flash to HTML5.

Here is a high-level summary of the Adobe Presenter timeline over the past several years: • 2005: Adobe acquires Macromedia and renames the Macromedia Breeze product to Adobe Presenter. • 2011: In my first in-depth analysis of the product (Learning Solutions Magazine, September 2011), I find that Adobe has done very little to update it since the acquisition. • 2013: Adobe Presenter upgrades to Version 9, a significant update – but it includes many bugs, especially with its built-in learner interactions.

• 2014: Adobe Presenter upgrades to Version 10, an update that fixes many issues found in Version 9. • 2015: Adobe Presenter upgrades to Version 11, which includes some support (slide transitions only) for HTML5, new characters, a publish option for Adobe Captivate Prime, and a few other minor enhancements. Presenter 11 is obviously in a lull period in terms of enhancements, and hopefully, we’ll see a significant upgrade sometime very soon. For now, you can anticipate some issues. For me, it started right off the bat, when I tried to publish a test PPT file.
