In Pictures: 10 tips for giving killer presentations with the new Prezi

2. Use 3D backgrounds for a robust presentation.

New to Prezi are templates that display vibrant 3D backgrounds. When you add objects, frames and text to these templates, your prezi will display each one by zooming into or away from the 3D background, giving the prezi depth. With templates, the 3D effect is handled automatically: Simply insert media and run the prezi to take advantage of it.

However, you can also create your own 3D backgrounds by right-clicking on any prezi (whether it uses a 2D or 3D template) and choosing the "Change background" option. Click on the Edit button next to the 3D Background menu item and you'll be able to create your own 3D background with up to three different images.
