Flash is one of the most widely utilized and viewed multimedia format on the Internet today. There are a lot of video copying and video presentation programs boasting to be the best, however the question one must ask is “Do they do what they claim to, and do they actually accomplish these processes with ease and professionalism?” 

The answer to this I will leave alone for you to decide, however I personally can speak for WildPresenter Pro, version 3.204.

The WildPresenter program creates “Flash and video presentations, it converts PowerPoint to Flash and also adds video”. As well, this program “Generate[s] E-learning quizzes and courses (Quiz Creator included), produces multimedia websites, slide shows, and ads, within a user-friendly program”. It accomplishes this with a relative of ease and simplicity requiring little computer knowledge to create professional Flash media.

WildPresenter allows for you to develop and produce your own multimedia presentations without the need for expensive training. In fact, their online tutorials and training videos are exactly what all programs should offer: With just one viewing of a particular training video you can easily produce your own professional presentation. 

Whether as claimed, “product demos, online tutorials, websites, and e-learning courses”, you can quickly design and create your ideas to show on the Web, intranets, and CD-ROMs / DVDs and other mobile technology formats. As well, these presentations will play on any operating system (it has improved VISTA support) and browser, without the need for special programs. 

For instance, one of my favourite programs to work with is PowerPoint. Now I can easily convert a PowerPoint presentation to Flash. You do not need to be an expert with PowerPoint and you do not need to buy the PowerPoint program. WildPresenter allows you to easily edit a PowerPoint creation within the WildPresenter program and upload it to the Internet, save it to a CD, or any other platform for Flash presentations.

WildPresenter allows you to work on a PowerPoint presentation, imported from a template, without the actual software for PowerPoint.  All the PowerPoint tools are readily available in WildPresenter, including free PowerPoint templates that you can easily utilize in making your own presentation.

WildPresenter offers a great HELP with these programs and training videos. For instance, if you want to make training video presentations from scratch there are “Wizards” that guide you every step of the process. As well, WildPresenter offers, free of charge: templates, videos, sound clips, and digital pictures that you can use for in your own presentations. 

To further this assistance, WildPresenter offers an: “extensive resource site with tutorials, articles, links and a royalty-free video library, as well as our excellent technical support”. You can also get free online training at: www.wildform.com/support/tutorials/online_training/. 

This training was developed using WildPresenter software, so you can see the finished product. WildPresenter also offers a Blog wherein you get all kinds of help and tips to enable you to utilize this program to its fullest.

Test drive this program for free at: www.wildform.com/demos. WildPresenter backs up their program with a money-back guarantee. They offer 100% satisfaction guarantee within 15 days or your money refunded. 

In my opinion, this is a “must have” program for anyone wanting to create projects into Flash with ease and professionalism.
