What’s new in ActivePresenter 10?
Since the very first version of our ActivePresenter eLearning authoring software, we’ve always asked ourselves one key question: How can we bring the eLearning design process closer to teachers and trainers in their everyday work – through simple, practical, and effective authoring tools?
Over time, we’ve streamlined the process so you can record, build tutorials, add interactivity, and publish courses all in one place without juggling multiple apps.
Now with ActivePresenter 10, we’re taking a big step forward to become a complete eLearning solution, including:
- New Interface & Templates: A modern, redesigned interface with ready-made themes and templates, so you can get started right away.
- AI-Powered eLearning Toolkit: Generate images, text, speech, captions, and translations faster, with improved quizzes and media tools for seamless creation.
- Export to mini LMS: Publish courses directly to uPresenter, a lightweight LMS solution with easy sharing and learner tracking, no complex LMS setup required.
ActivePresenter 10 is built to give you a smoother design experience from start to finish so you spend less time on setup and more time delivering impactful lessons.
Let’s see what we bring to the table in ActivePresenter 10 in practice.
Intuitive Modern Interface with Ready-made Templates
We’ve completely rebranded ActivePresenter with a fresh new look, giving the entire interface a modern and cohesive design.
The updated working interface is built to minimize distractions and help you focus on creating content seamlessly, whether you’re building eLearning courses, tutorials, or business presentations.
Another highlight is the expanded collection of ready-made themes and templates. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you now have access to dozens of professionally designed options covering a wide variety of subjects from education to business training.
With just a few clicks, you can pick a template that matches your purpose, customize it to your brand, and save hours of manual design work.
eLearning Features Spotlight with AI Support ✨
AI is transforming the way we work – and we’re not missing a beat.
In ActivePresenter 10, we don’t just introduce a single AI feature, we bring you a full suite of AI tools designed for multiple purposes, from generating text and images to text-to-speech and automatic captions.
AI Image Generator
You can now create images directly within ActivePresenter using a variety of modern AI models. Choose from different styles, aspect ratios, and customize your prompts to get the exact visuals you need.
A helpful addition: you can Save as New Prompt to reuse your favorite settings anytime, streamlining your creative process even further.
Text to Speech
You can generate text-to-speech using over 100 natural-sounding voices in more than 20 languages, with full control over speed and volume settings. This gives you the flexibility to match different teaching styles or learner preferences.
Plus, you can instantly localize your eLearning content for global audiences without the need for professional voice-over recording.
Auto Captions (Speech to Text)
Auto Captions to help you save time and effort when working with narration or voice-over. Instead of manually typing what you say, the software can now automatically transcribe your speech into captions within seconds.
You can adjust how long each caption appears, and once you set your preferred caption style – like font, size, and color – it will be applied consistently throughout your project.
AI Writing (fix grammar, change voice tone, improve writing)
The AI Writing feature in ActivePresenter 10 is designed to support you in creating clearer and more polished text. Whether you’re writing slides, learning content, or quizzes, AI helps fix grammar, improve structure, and adjust writing tone for learners
You don’t need to be a professional writer to produce professional-looking results. With just a few clicks, your draft can be transformed into a more natural, engaging version. This would save you time while improving overall quality.
Multi-Language Project Translation
If you’re creating courses for learners in different languages, the Project Auto Translation feature can save you tons of time.
Instead of translating each text element manually, you can now convert all text from your project into different languages with one-click only.
Translation covers every available text on your projects including object texts, closed captions, text to speech texts, etc.
ActivePresenter 10 streamlines the entire process of creating multi-language courses and helps ensure consistency across all versions. It’s a practical solution for teams working on large-scale or international training content.
Interactive Questions
We couldn’t skip a major update for Questions in ActivePresenter 10!
Since our users often need to switch back and forth to review questions among other slides in large projects, the new Question Navigation is here to make it easier to jump directly to any question without scrolling endlessly.
You can now apply your current question settings once and instantly update every (or selected) question slide, saving time and effort from manual formatting.
A notable highlight here, you can now insert a question at a specific point within a slide, such as during a video, without having to create a separate slide for it. In other words, you arrange question(s) into a running video, making the experience seamless and more engaging.
On top of that, besides shuffling questions with slide pools, ActivePresenter lets you shuffle answers in one click to prevent answer positions from becoming predictable.
Timeline Marker
What if you want to mark specific time in your slide for easier navigation? No worry, in this version, we introduce Timeline Marker to help you mark your content in the timeline so as to revisit later for editing.
Better yet, markers are also milestones to divide content into smaller chapters in the table of contents when you preview or play in HTML5.
Audio Ducking
ActivePresenter 10 introduces Audio Ducking to help your voice stand out clearly in any recording. When this feature is enabled, ActivePresenter automatically lowers the volume of background music or other audio whenever the narrator is speaking.
This ensures that your narration, or any spoken content is always easy to hear, without being overpowered by background sounds.
It’s a simple yet effective way to improve the clarity and professionalism of your videos, especially in tutorials, training, or voice-over projects.
Media Tools for Image & Video
ActivePresenter 10 brings a richer set of tools to help you create visually polished and professional courses without switching to external design software.
From editing images and videos to fine-tuning transitions, you now have more control and flexibility right inside the editor.
- Media Tools: Work with images and videos more creatively using features like crop to shape, media fit, blur effects, background removal, and even text extraction. These options make it easier to adapt media to your content style and keep everything consistent across slides.
- Filter Effects: Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and color balance, or apply artistic filters to give your visuals a distinctive look. Whether you need subtle enhancements for clarity or bold styles for impact, pre-made presets are available to elevate the overall design.
- Preview Animations: No more guesswork with transitions. You can now instantly preview slide and object animations before applying them, ensuring smoother pacing, better visual flow, and a more engaging learner experience.
Smoother Preview & Export to uPresenter
Another upgrade that makes the eLearning design smoother is the faster HTML5 Preview & export with no encode option. Instead of waiting for a long encoding time, you can instantly preview your projects in HTML5 with all interactions intact. This speeds up the review cycle, helps you spot issues earlier, and ensures your content is ready for learners faster than ever.
With ActivePresenter 10, you can now export your projects directly to uPresenter, an AI-powered platform for creating and delivering interactive eLearning content.
uPresenter acts like a lightweight LMS, allowing you to host your eLearning materials while preserving all the interactivity you’ve built in ActivePresenter eLearning authoring software.
Once uploaded, you can easily share your content with students, teams, or your organization. Even better, uPresenter provides real-time tracking of learner engagement and quiz results, making it easier to monitor progress and improve learning outcomes, all without needing a full LMS setup.
Other enhancements you may want to have a look:
- Support group style designing: rounded corner, fill, line… for object group
- Edit slide background image as image object
- Add more types of shapes
- Improve Variables editor (Combining Variables & References)
In this comeback, ActivePresenter 10 brings a brand new appearance with AI toolkits covering all you need for the eLearning design process.
Whether you’re updating existing projects or starting fresh, these new tools can help you work more efficiently and deliver a better learning experience.
Make the most of what’s new in ActivePresenter 10 and speed up the way you are creating your eLearning projects.
