Create & edit in PowerPoint
Create your presentation in PowerPoint as usual, then drag and drop your PowerPoint file onto Ovation's desktop icon or export directly into Ovation. 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 text that ranges from tastefully subtle to sparkling brilliance.

Smooth motion
Ovation's exclusive PowerLooks add smooth motion to your message. From subtle to eye-catching, Ovation brings presentations to life.

Bullet emphasis
Keep audiences focused. As each new bullet is revealed, the previous bullet steps back from the spotlight and becomes transparent or defocused.

Message reinforcement
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
Make 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
Open PowerPoint from within Ovation so you can quickly make edits to your presentation without closing either program.

PowerLooks organizer
Provide a variety of ways to filter through more than 100 PowerLooks allowing users to choose by color or by style.

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
Keep on pace by knowing at a glance if you're ahead or behind on a 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
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
