AirDeck Reviews

I bought AirDeck sceptical. I have always done video lectures by presenting in one piece. Now I can change one video or audio at a time. I can see which presentations people are bored with or interested in.

Cool tool. I combined it with sessions.us and have an incredible educational tool to engage my clients and students.

What I'd like to see in AirDeck and what I'm missing now is a backup of the work I've created and the ability to download all my work as *.MP4s. I know I can use bubbles or loom, for example, but it's extra time waiting for the video to be created.

We have been using Airdeck for some time now, and find it an impressive tool. It is very effective medium for storytelling, media, content creation, and marketing.

Often you may find yourself wanting to add that extra punch to your slides. Creating and turning your presentation into a video may not always the right answer. Enter AirDeck. The UI is very intuitive and easy to create and organize your presentation.

The audio, video, and motion content seamlessly blend together to allow you to convey your message/content to a captive audience. And that is worth lots of tacos.

This ability to blend multiple forms of content - makes AirDeck very effective for course creators as well. Allows embedding and therefore it can be used in a versatile manner. AirDeck records the video, and audio very smoothly. And it can also embed your pre-recorded clips. Love the audio narration as well.

Look forward to when they also make more templates available in the future. This would allow anyone to use AirDeck for many different client projects as an excellent value-add.

We love the efficiency of being able to work on a per-slide basis. Very promising upcoming features that Jack (the CEO of AirDeck) has shared in the comments. The support team is excellent. Kudos to Jack and his team for creating this tool. Love it and use it daily. Many of our clients we recommended this tool to, also have started using it regularly. Whitelabel capability is also in the works.

Overall, Airdeck offers excellent value for the various tiers it offers. Unlimited decks for Tier-3 also make it very attractive. Highly recommend any media pro and content creator to consider buying this deal while you can. This will likely blow up as it gains wider brand awareness and popularity with users.

Pros
1. Easy to record and re-record (
2. Dark background
3. Statistics overview
4. PDF document loading
5. Unlimited slides
6. Folder structure

Feature Wishlist
1. Slide OCR API connection ( 3rd party is fine )
2. Slide GPT API connection ( with ability to add initial prompt , as everyone need different types of GPT output )
3. Question generation from slide OCR ( can add feedback form easily )

Cons
1. No Plugin Ecosystem
2. No Recycle bin ( deletes permanently )
3. Possibly no CDN ( As it is very slow loading )
4. Link management is not great.
5. Only pointer , No annotations.
6. Geolocation accuracy is low
7. Sorting problem in file arrangement ( 07 vs 7 )

It is exactly as the title says. I created a presentation with an hour worth of videos and narration over slides and I am stoked that the deal closed.

This is an opportunity to share a proposal with a client and use voice narration, videos as slides or embed video into slides.

It tells a powerful multisensory experience for the person reviewing the deck.

Safe to say I won't be refunding this one, haha.

Airdeck is a hidden gem just like Pubcoder.
I give it full five tacos. Here is a short review:

Multimedia presentations with a bit of interactivity built in has been proven to be much better than plain videos or simple presentations.

Pros:
1. Solid company behind Airdeck - Airdeck has raised close to 4 million in funding and thus, is well poised to develop in to a well polished presentations platform. See: https://airdeck.co/airdeck-inc-raises-750000-in-series-iii-seed-round/
2. The application is well designed and the UX/UI is well made. Regular updates (https://airdeck.co/changelog/)
3. The CEO has just indicated that the Tier III will receive white-labelling as well as CNAME.
4. The player is well-made with auto-advance.
5. Support for multiple file format imports covering every possible need. Support for embedding the presentations anywhere.
6. Analytics in Tier III can be useful to understand what the audience is interested in or paying attention to in your presentation and can be used for A/B testing too.
7. Generous limits: Unlimited decks on Tier III is great.

Limitations (for now):
1. Can't embed iframes into the presentations currently - but I believe this might change.
2. This is NOT a slides creating application. It is a presentations delivery application.
3. You can't animate any objects, text, etc in the slides: You can either add a video or an image (along with hotspots based links and surveys). However, the presentations look professional without animations.

Feature requests:
1. Ability to add additional audio or music to each slide or entire presentation
2. Slide transitions
3. Presenter View with Slide Notes - Also, a feature to add teleprompter notes that does not get recorded.
4. Ability to resize and change shape (round for eg.) of the video recording when Video+Screen recording is done. (Currently, we can move the video or make it full screen)
5. Ability to spawn a modal window with iframe contents without leaving the presentation (the modal can be maximised into a new tab)
6. Text to voice (Bring your own API model can work too)
7. Ability to add tracking codes (google analytics, facebook pixel, etc) to track conversions.
8. Add a small logo to the player as well as a watermark or logo to the videos.
9. Ability to embed google charts or such dynamic content (iframe/oembed)
10. End of presentation behaviors - Auto navigate to a landing page, Show related presentations, etc.

I highly recommend Airdeck. It is a must have in your repertoire of tools if you are a marketer, educator, coach, etc. Makes for great communications that is professional looking and involves multimedia.
