Step 1: Set up your editor and file

Deckset 2.0.11 macOS 82 MB Deckset is a new, simple way to create presentations. Open your favourite text editor, write down your thoughts and Deckset will turn them. Simple, Yet SUPER Powerful! And don't let the simplicity fool you. Just because it's simple to create the videos, doesn't mean the end result looks like it was created by a newbie-friendly product. The videos that Doodly create look even better than what the professionals charging $1000s of dollars for their services, can create.

Step 3: Write your presentation outline in Markdown

A great way to get started is by writing an outline of the topics you want to cover. This will help you think about the structure first and get a feel for the flow of your talk.

An outline consists of various levels of headings covering the main topics

Step 4: Refine your outline

At this stage it is helpful to focus on your narrative — making sure the story you are telling makes sense and is relevant to your audience.

Here topics can be further developed, split up, or expanded across slides introducing more levels of hierarchy. Generally as your outline develops things will move around in the Markdown file. Xversion 1 1 4 download free.

As your outline grows you see more slides

Step 5: Add content to your slides

Once the outline feels good, you can begin to fill slides with more content, you can move beyond # Headings and include paragraph text and - Bullet Points to structure the presentation.

At this point you may want to include images to support your ideas. To insert images you use the following markdown syntax: ![](yourimage.jpg).

The easiest way to auto-generate the image syntax is to drag your image and release it over the Deckset window, the syntax is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into your markdown file. You can also reference images on the internet with the same syntax ![](http://www.website.com/yourimage.jpg). This is the safest way to use images if you are collabrating or sharing your Markdown file.

Adding images to support your ideas

You might consider removing text and simply use images to accompany what you talk through. To capture your talking points you can use ^ Speaker Notes so they appear in the presenter display while you talk.

Using images with speaker notes allows the audience to focus on what you are saying

Step 6: Rehearse & Present

Using the [Rehearse] button in the toolbar you can preview and run through your presentation as if you were connected to an external display to practice for the main event.
