The Editor is where the magic happens: writing your narrative, adding visuals, and turning your content into slides.
Unlike iA Presenter on Mac, on iPhone the Editor will be fullscreen by default. You can easily preview slide thumbnails by swiping right from the left edge of your screen. Swipe left to close the preview.
When you open iA Presenter on your iPhone you’ll first see our Fast Love in-app tutorial. To remove it and start writing your narrative, select all text and press Delete.
💡 If you no longer need the tutorial and prefer to start with a different or blank presentation, go to Settings → General → Default Presentation and add your own template text, or delete it altogether.
Start by writing your narrative, the story you want to tell. As you write, format your text using Markdown. You can also import existing text—from iA Writer, for example.
To create a new slide, either type three dashes ---
, enter two line breaks, or open the onscreen keyboard, select the Lightning Menu on the right and select Slide Break from the menu.
If you need a specific layout for your slide, click the + on the toolbar on the bottom left.
In the Title Bar’s centre, click on the presentation’s name to rename it.
Under the Title Bar you’ll find a timer that estimates how long your presentation will take, based on your narrative. The time estimate updates in real-time as you write and edit.
If you don’t know Markdown yet, open the onscreen keyboard, select the Lightning menu on the right and select a formatting option. From here, you can also configure what formatting options you’ll see.
The first category in the Text menu is called Spoken Text. Most of your narrative will probably be spoken text, but you can add lists or quotes here too.
💡 Keep in mind that any text in the Spoken Text category won’t appear on your slides, but you’ll see it when you present.
With iA Presenter you can easily cut out all distractions while you’re writing.
Use iA Writer’s famous Focus Mode, which we integrated into iA Presenter too. Enable Focus Mode via the Text Size button AA.
💡 Compared to iA Writer, Focus Mode in iA Presenter works slightly differently. Instead of highlighting a paragraph or a sentence as in iA Writer, Focus Mode in iA Presenter focuses on the slide you’re writing.
You’ll notice that your cursor and slide titles gradually change color from blue to gold. Sure, it’s pretty—but it also shows you in which phase you are in a presentation:
Blue is a cold start.
Purple is warming up.
Red is when things get hot.
Orange prepares you for a sweet end.
Gold is the afterglow.
💡 Keep in mind that the colors you see in the Editor don’t affect the theme you choose.
You can tweak how the Editor looks and works via:
For example, you can switch between iA’s Mono, Duo and Quattro variable fonts, set up spelling, and more.
