Inappropriate?Hi Fred,
this works party in the Prezi desktop - works for texts, frames, drawings, but not for images and videos, (media files)
it does not work at all today online -
Inappropriate?can you multi-select and copy / paste?
i have nested frames, text and path (obviously, could re-draw the path).
i'd like to take the whole element from one prezi to another, all at once.
thanks for a quick reply (on a summer friday).
: ) -
Inappropriate?Hi Greg,
am I quick enough? :)
well you can't copy paste between Prezis using the online version but you CAN using the desktop (as far as frames and labels are considered)

Even though I can understand your free & fee strategy, the copy & paste between prezi documents is the fundamental function to have enough experience with the Prezi. Please, be more strategic at other features. :) -
Forty4 is right.
I'm currently using a paid version of Prezi (Enjoy account). Copy/paste between prezis would be GREAT. A fundamental booster for my use of the tool (and for my word of mouth about it).
+ you should really emphasize the multiple-object selection. I've been trying ctrl+click, like I do in PowerPoint... and only after several tries I realized i had to press shift+click -
Just another suggestion: you should render the multi-object selection a transparent object, so that the user can choose which elements are selected
-
Inappropriate?big ups on the quick reply -- thanks.
sad about the copy/paste thing vis a vis online, but understand the need to save some good features for the fee version.
love the tool.
off to re-create.
I’m ambivalent

Inappropriate?Peter,
I can't get this to work, even on the desktop version. The desktop hangs up and freezes.
Here's my process:
1) Open Prezi #1
2) Select 1 or more items on the stage
3) Choose Edit>Copy
4) Save and Close
5) Open Prezi #2
6) Choose Edit>Paste
Then the Prezi#2 Hangs up and eventually I have to force quite.

hi Drew,
could you please try ctrl c and ctrl v? To be honest existing edit menu is a bug not a feature. -
Inappropriate?Drew - in theory, and mostly in practice, this should work fine. Except for 'edit' is not a menu within the desktop (can be confusing, adobe air menu on top says edit) - please just press ctrl+c, ctrl+v (ctrl even on the mac)
-
Inappropriate?Adam,
Thanks for the response.
Still no luck. I am on a mac and I tried to use ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
I hear a sound everytime I hit ctrl v, but nothing pastes. It's not crashing... which is good.
Any other ideas? -
Inappropriate?So - this is an undocumented not fully tested feature - but one thing is for sure - it would only for for texts and frames and arrows, etc - not images, no path data. what r u trying to copy over?1 Comment Add a comment

Adam,
I am just trying to copy frames and text. But, that being said, I was able to copy over one image... have no idea why. But when I tried again - it didn't work. -
Inappropriate?Adam,
I just got it to work by hitting ctrl+shift+v
Does that seem weird?
I’m psyched. But bewildered.
-
Inappropriate?By the way... ctrl+c is fine... ctrl+shift+v for the paste it seems. I just did it about fifteen times to make sure it works.
This is great for me. -
Inappropriate?weird... I pass this on to dev.
-
Inappropriate?Glad to hear. Thanks for your help. Working on a big client presentation for Monday in LA. Thanks a ton.
I’m glad to have the quick response.
-
Inappropriate?Even though it's great to have the copy paste feature at all it's quite useless if it doesn't work with files. Since Prezis (at least the way I create them) are very visual the biggest part of the work is to select, upload and arrange the pictures, videos etc.
Therefore, I think it should be on your priority list to work on that feature. It's fine if that stays an for-paying-users-only option though, since it is primarily neccesary for those who create lots of presentations. Yet for those, it would improve the workflow like no other feature. -
Inappropriate?Good idea, important feature request. We will consider adding this as soon as we can.

Inappropriate?Sounds great! Please keep us updated, think there are quite some of us who'd be more than pleased!

Inappropriate?Fo me it doesn't work in anyway! Neither online thann offline. I have a ProAccount. I tried the medntioned ctrl-shift-v trick as well. But nope. I can not even copy&paste in the same prezi. It's really anoying, because I built different in different prezis, and would lile to make some overview stuff, without drawing all the same, again and again.
Is there any way, to get arount - et satisfaction :-) ?
thank you -
Inappropriate?Maybe nice as well to be able to create more figures, like triangles, quadrants in different colours, More text coulors & size. Maybe to possibility to create arrows or lines which you can bend?! Use picture as start image as background. Oh, i still didn't find out how i can put a soundfile in my presentation as background music.
Somebody any idea?
Tnx -
Inappropriate?Not having this feature is having an effect on Prezi.com's bottom line. Seriously, my group has two paid accounts, but we don't use them. We sign into the account of the original person who found prezi, because the only way to take advantage of work already done is to copy the whole presentation to a new one within the same user. We would buy a half dozen more licenses tomorrow if we could send presentations to each other and copy and paste sections from it.
-
Inappropriate?this is ridiculous thing to not provide an object sharing(copy,paste) feature between prezi(s). I am going to have to switch to powerpoint to save my reworking effort.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Jim, Saurabh .Tanish. Arora,
could you please try the next thing. Open a prezi you own. The url should look like this
http://prezi.com/tvchl3dm4qpa/edit/ (this link is not working this is only an example)
Now append experimental/copypaste to the end of the url
http://prezi.com/tvchl3dm4qpa/edit/ex...
Select elements, and when you see a zebra press ctrl+c
Now open an other prezi with the same extension. And click somewhere (you have to click the browser window to able to use keyboard shortcuts), be sure you are in write menu and press ctrl+v
Jim, if it works, you can buy licenses with your credit card :)

Inappropriate?Hi Peter,
I tried this and it's working - great news! I tend to say that this is the most important new feature you included ever, since it was the biggest lack for your professional, heavy users. Thank you very much for finally including it!
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?Wonderful, it works perfectly with single objects as well as selecting multiple objects to copy/paste - great work!
I’m thankful
