Multimedia presentations are used to help tell people information using a greater range of media than in a multimedia story, such as with: video clips, diagrams and animations.
They are sometimes called slide shows, with each slide covering one topic.
Lots of companies make multimedia presentations:
- A salesman will talk potential customers through the presentation.
- Videos (like those taken with a digital video camera) can be used to show what the products look like.
- Graphs can be used to show company profits.

| Animation |
Animation can be used to make a presentation look more attractive and draw attention to particular points. Objects can appear on or disappear off whilst someone is looking at a slide. For example, each bullet point could slide on from the side and then fade out after it has been read.

Slide Transition |
How the presentation changes from one slide to another can happen in two different ways:
- When the user clicks a mouse button. This is helpful if the presentation is going to be shown to an audience and how long each slide should appear for isn’t known.
- The presentation can be automatically timed so that each slide moves to the next one automatically after a set length of time has passed. This could be helpful if a presentation advertising a product is left showing on a monitor in a shop in a loop all day.
