When I need advanced media capabilities in my presentations I do them with QML : https://github.com/ec1oud/qml-presentation-system - you can do nice things like putting a whole 3d renderer in there. It's a complete programming language used for UI. Else if it's simpler stuff I do them in LaTeX with beamer but you need to use the proprietary Acrobat as a PDF reader (ugh)if you want to ensure proper video playback in my experience. If you don't need videos / more media stuff then it's the safer - PDFs work everywhere, on every OS (that can drive an HDMI output at least ;p).
