Adobe Presentation Program?

[NateMads]

I love all of the Adobe products, they are powerful tools that I use everyday. But there is one tool that I feel the Creative Suite is missing.

Working as both a lead designer at a marketing company and my own freelance company, sometimes I am forced to go outside of the wonderful world of Adobe products, and create something in programs sent straight from hell. After waiting an agonizing amount of time for them to open, they reveal their true horrors in the forms of terrible UI, outdated themes, limited customization, and severe file limitations.

I'm talking about presentation programs. Powerpoint, Keynote, Google Slides. They are all forms of the same infuriatingly difficult to use monster. The plight of the modern designer.

There have been ways to work around using these programs, such as using Adobe Acrobat as a presentation platform. However due to the nature of the program and PDF file type, it lacks the ability to use multimedia resources, animations, and transitions, which can be a large part of the presentation experience.

But what if there was a product that took those awful presentation programs and combined them with the powerful vector capabilities of Illustrator, the animation building powers of After Effects, the text layout wizardry of Indesign, and the seamless cross platform interaction we've come to love from the Creative Suite?

What if there was a presentation creation software, that functioned like an Adobe product? A software that didn't limit you because of terrible UX/UI design? A software that didn't make every presentation look like a boring slide show from the 1980s?

Well, I for one would be very happy.

So I bring this idea to you, the Adobe community. What are your thoughts? Should Adobe build a presentation/slideshow software? What should it be able to do that other presentation programs can't? Would you use a program like this?

I'd love to bump this has high up as I possibly can. I've been able to "astound" people by creating fairly simple animations cut into chunks in After Effects and exporting them as video files into Powerpoint that auto-play when I advance the slide. I'd recommend that to the OP in the shortterm, but that has serious limitations: if your presentation is too long it starts to overload just about any CPU (50+ embedded videos will do that).

I would LOVE to be able to use the dynamic stuff I can make in the Adobe Suite in a presentation, but I can't figure out how to do it; Prezi is the closest thing I've found in terms of dynamism, but none of the assets and vectors translate. Please Adobe, help us win pitches!
