Ubuntu – Light easy to use Presentation software

presentationsoftware-recommendation

I am looking for an easy to use light presentation software.

The main features I need are :

  • Light (on dependencies and resource consumption)
  • Easy to use
  • Align & Distribute information on slide
  • Use pictures
  • Offline editor

The extra features I would like are:

  • On click animations
  • .ppt Import/export
  • Use templates/themes for easily unified presentation

Sliderocket looks like a presentation tool matching my needs. Unfortunately it is an online presentation editor and I am looking for an offline one.

I don't mind the software being proprietary and for-pay
