Frequently Asked Questions

General

An Impression FX presentation is a standalone multimedia application that does not require installation to be viewed. When Impression FX generates a presentation, it creates a separate folder with two files: the project file ("project name.ipp") and the IFX Player (IFXplayer.exe). To view the presentation on any Windows OS computer, all you have to do is launch the IFXplayer.exe file which will automatically play the presentation saved in the same folder. There is no need to install Impression FX or any other software.

An Impression FX presentation is created on the basis of slides (pages) of the original document between which various transition effects are added. In addition, menu and flexible slide control are built into the presentation that can be used with a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, or a presenter.

To view a presentation on any computer or device with Windows OS, all you need to do is copy the folder with the presentation project (.ipp) and the Player (IFXplayer.exe) and launch the Player. You do not need to install Impression FX or any other software.

You can use a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, or a presenter to control an Impression FX presentation. You can see all control features on the Impression FX Presentation Control page.

You will need Windows OS 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 to use Impression FX.

Currently, only the PowerPoint version of Impression FX is available.

Impression FX PRO is the fully functional version allowing you to individually set the transition effect and slide display time for each slide. Impression FX Lite is a reduced functionality version in which the transition effects cannot be individually tailored adjusted for each slide, but only for the presentation as a whole.

Impression FX converts (rasterizes) slides of a PowerPoint presentation to images. Animation is not supported for the slides.

An Impression FX presentation is a multimedia application that is played in real time and does not contain video fragments that take up a lot of space. That is why a medium-size Impression FX presentation takes around 40-60 MB.

To install Impression FX for PowerPoint, you will need Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 or newer.

In Impression FX Lite transition effects are set up for the entire presentation. You cannot set them up separately for each slide. In order to do this, you need the Impression FX PRO version.

The speed of creating a presentation depends on the CPU performance of your system. The speed of rendering a video depends mostly on video card performance (GPU).
