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 -
-
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).
: ) -
-
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)

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
-
-
-
-
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. -

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.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?-
hi Drew,
could you please try ctrl c and ctrl v? To be honest existing edit menu is a bug not a feature. -
-
I have a Prezi Pro Desktop copy, but that did not work! Wondering what might be the problem
-
-
-
-
-
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)
-
-
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? -
-
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?
-
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. -
-
I tried to copy and paste only text, frames and markers but it didn't work!! can you please clarify? I have a Pro Desktop Version
-
-
-
-
-
Adam,
I just got it to work by hitting ctrl+shift+v
Does that seem weird? -
-
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. -
-
-
-
Glad to hear. Thanks for your help. Working on a big client presentation for Monday in LA. Thanks a ton.
-
-
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. -
-
Good idea, important feature request. We will consider adding this as soon as we can.

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

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 -
-
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 -

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.
-
-
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.

1Jim, 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 :)

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! -
-
Wonderful, it works perfectly with single objects as well as selecting multiple objects to copy/paste - great work!
-
-
Hi Peter,
by now I am regularly using the copy paste feature (btw: is it still only supported as an experimental feature?). Most of the time it works perfectly but every once in a while my browser (Chrome 4.1.249.1036 on Vista) crashes.
Couldn't figure out so far if there is a specific trigger or if the crashes appear purely random.
Regards,
Thomas -

Guys, I just cut and pasted from one browser window to the next, images, pdf's shapes, frames and all! This is fantastic and a huge benefit to me! Thanks so much!

Hi all,
A new update is available for Prezi Desktop. Version 3.019 fixes a keystroke issue with Macs. Now you can copy/paste with Command+c, Command+v. Accept the update when launching PrezDesktop3 next time! -
-
Ok. I just can ́t wait this feature on the desktop editor. Then prezi will be a pwt killer.

Hi!
I have a problem and I didn't find the solution here. I have a simple account and a full presentation. I would like to move the all pres to another account, that is pro. How can I do whit a few clicks?- view 1 more comment

kata, click on the prezi on your page, under 'who can edit' click invite, and copy that link.
now log in with your new account, and paste that link into the browser
you will now be editor of the prezi on both accounts -

ok, i'm a beginner... :) Thank You very much!! :)

Cntrl+c/cntrl+v are not working with a text copy in either the browser or in my desktop (30-day trial) version. I didn't know about the cntrl+shift+v for paste. Guess I will have give that a go.
I'm trying to copy and paste several text objects and a frame at once.
In the IE8 browser, I tried to copy from one prezi to another with these "Edit" commands and no success.
So what is the actual process, and maybe it could be documented better?
Thanks!-
CHOPS,
Latest on this is discussed in this topic: http://community.prezi.com/prezi/topi...

Seems to me that one year ago is long enough! Time for the company to deliver a really updated system which solves other issues apart from copying from one Prezi to another, including:
A proper "delete a path item" rather than the present convoluted method which is not shown anywhere in the system
Proper menu to embed sound
Autorun facility
Proper manual easily accessible and shown in main menu
Good though Prezi undoubtedly is you need to keep ahead of the curve! -

This issue became my main problem recently. I decided to go with univ lectures using prezi, but lectures change every semester. Hence presentation has to be altered as well. Unfortunatelly changing the presentation without possibility to copy/paste will be a disaster and now I am rather inclined NOT to continue lectures in prezi.
-
wiktor, you can copy paste between prezis. just select, press ctrl+c, open another tab, ctrl+v.
-
-
uhm...so not in desktop version but can do that with multiply presentations opened online?...ok, thx I'll try
-
-
-
-

Wiktor,
Try the following:
open prezi nr 1 ('prezi1.pez'). Copy something (CTRL+c).
Then go to file menu, and open another prezi ('prezi2.pez').
Prezi desktop should open prezi nr 2, thereby closing prezi nr 1.
Now paste...
This works for me ;-0
Kind regards,
Roel
(Fellow user, not affiliated with the prezi team).-
weeee!!!! that works!
Thanks Adam and Roel.
That will speed up time for making presentations:) -

ok now, in PreziDesktop copying with ctrl+c/ctrl+v does work, but you cannot close prezi nr 1 after ctrl+c, because this results in being unable to paste into prezi nr 2. You have to open prezi nr 2 WHILE prezi nr 1 is still opened (eventhough it will result in closing automatically the prezi nr 1).
The only thing that is not being copied is the path (G* guys work this out because setting a path each time is a bit frustrating +70 positions...)
There is a significant problem though with copying in an online version.
Whenever I copy between prezis online and then save the presentation and download it to portable prezi desktop I CANNOT upload it to the web anymore!!! This results in an error message:
Error
Could not retrieve online media availability from server.
Error:onlineMediaAvailabilityError
A little bug of prezi?..
That wasted quite some time of mine to find when this error occurs.
I've checked also if this problem occur if copying in desktop and fortunately you can upload the prezi after copying in prezi desktop. -

HI Peter and Adam,
What's up with allowing this problem to run without being fixed for so long? do you have any idea how many man-hours are wasted, just dealing with this glitch, let alone the effect it has on sales and referrals? We have people who ask us all the time about this product - and we wish we could give them a more favorable answer. It seems like copy and paste have been around for years, as long as the clipboard. You copy it to the clipboard and paste from it - any object. What's so hard about that? -

1Hi,
copy paste between prezis has been already implemented.
http://www.screenr.com/yYe
Let me know how it works.
peter-
take a look two post above how it works...;)
-unintuitive in case of a prezi desktop
-with bugs in case of online copying
-without path copying
-if copying between prezi desktop and online - no media can be copied

Copy and Paste of all objects including images, video and paths would make my life so much easier. I love your Prezi and so do our clients. Each Prezi needs updating for each client, salesperson and content.
I recall being able to do this a while ago, did that feature get removed? Would be a huge help to find a way to do this again. If you could even copy and paste all accept video, that would be big help : )
Thanks!-
The other thing you can do is simply make a copy of the Prezi and change the information in it. This might be useful if you make a "Template" Prezi and copy from there.

Hi Rob,
copy paste is available but unfortunately we don't paste the path but everything else.
Do you have any problem?
hp-
I stand corrected! Sometimes I get caught between online and desktop. On the Desktop all elements copied and pasted except for paths which I can totally live with.
I do seem to have an issue with clearing the clipboard. Doing some testing and will report findings.
Thank you so much! -
-
Right click and select copy seems to work best on PC. Drop down copy and ctrl copy were inconsistent in my experience. Thanks again for your quick response!

I don't understand : you can make a copy of the prezi and then you'll be abble to copy elements from this copy (which is in your prezi now) to your building prezi

Copy and Paste between prezis
You can also paste content copied in one prezi into another prezi. It doesn't matter if you close the original prezi or not, so you can have them both open in different browser windows, or first close the original prezi and open the second one you would like to paste into. -

plz plz plz multi selection of elements is really very important

1Hi there,
Hold shift to multi-select items and then press copy / paste, etc by right clicking.
Cheers-
Please could someone add this to: http://prezi.com/learn/copypaste/
It has taken me a while to work this out as the standard is to hold control not shift for a multi-select -
-

I did get this down eventuall and even created a video tutorial on how to do it. Take a look if you'd like.
Thanks,
Drew
-
-
It's a very good answer! But the path isn't there anymore. You have to make the path again. Is there an option to copy content including the path??
Thanx in advance

Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to copy and paste text from a prezi on to a word document.
thanks,

How do I copy paste images (like the Ipad image/notepad image) in the same Prezi? Ctr C & Ctr V doesnt work...
And.. how can I change the view of the Ipad (it shows it vertical but the image I want to put in the Ipad image is horizontal)? -
-
Up until about a week ago, I was able to copy from my prezi into a document so I could create notes to go along with my prezis. Just recently, this is no longer a function. I love being able to create prezis for my classes and allow students to access them online when they are at home, but having to re-type my information for notes and hand-outs is for the birds. I guess I will have to go back to powerpoints.
