Presentations Have Never Looked So Good
Create & Edit in PowerPoint
Create your presentation in PowerPoint as usual, then drag and drop your PowerPoint file onto Ovation's desktop icon. Ovation will instantly turn PowerPoint slides into a visually stunning presentation.
PowerLooks™
More than themes or a plug-in for PowerPoint, PowerLooks add vibrant color, subtle motion, and high-resolution text to plain, lifeless slides.
Highly-Readable Text
Transform low-resolution fonts into a message that can range from tastefully subtle to sparkling brilliance.
Smooth Motion
Capture audience attention and keep it throughout the presentation.
Bullet Emphasis
Keeps audiences focused. As each new bullet is revealed, the previous bullet steps back from the spotlight and becomes transparent or defocused.
Message Reinforcement
Enables you to add thought-provoking words or concepts as semi-transparent text that move subtly in the show's background giving presentations a distinctive look.
Walk-In & Walk-Out Slides
Give an excellent first impression to a large audience by greeting them as they enter and thanking them as they leave a room.
Title Slides
Exhibit presenter contact information and showcase the presentation name in a unique way.
Brand Reinforcement
Add your organization's logo, brand elements and even an entire background image to turn Ovation's PowerLooks into your own brand-building look.
Go to PowerPoint
The Go To PowerPoint button allows you to open PowerPoint from within Ovation so you can quickly make edits to your presentation without closing either program.
PowerLooks Favorites
Gives you quick access to the looks you use most.
PowerLooks Organizer
Provide a variety of ways to filter through more than 100 PowerLooks allowing users to choose by color or by style.
Powerful Presentation Tools Keeps Users Confident and Effective
PointPrompter™
Turn notes into a scrolling teleprompter just like newscasters use to help you stay confident and on point while citing facts, figures, dates and other data-all without memorizing or cluttering up slides.
TimeKeeper™
Keeps you on pace by letting you know at a glance if you're ahead or behind on the presentation so you can determine whether to speed up or skip over certain points.
Go Deeper
Attach hidden, expanded information to PowerPoint slides that can be used in response to audience questions.
Next Bullet
Helps you make a smooth transition from point to point by peeking at your next bullet without having to reveal it to the audience first.
Intermission Mode
Display a countdown or time of day clock to ensure everyone's back from break on time.
Kiosk Mode
Navigate from slide to slide automatically--no more clicking the mouse to advance to the next slide.
Slide Timer
Preserve slide times imported from PowerPoint as well as customize your own timing per slide. This is especially useful when you have a tight time schedule.
Slide Navigation Bar
Display a thumbnail image of each slide along with its allotted slide time.
Direct Slide Access
Allows you to quickly access any slide in the Slide Navigation Bar by simply clicking on it. This eliminates the need to constantly hit the back button when referencing a previous slide.
Disable Slide
Preserve the Hide Slide feature within PowerPoint and can be enabled it at any time. You can disable any slide at any time within Ovation without deleting the actual slide.
