Basically I want each new frame to show only its title first. I tried

\renewcommand<>{\frame}[1]{\beameroriginal{\frame \pause #1}}

and variations, but it did not work.

  • So you use \frame{ \frametitle{<title>} ... } for your setup? Do you use \begin{frame}{<title>} ... \end{frame} at all? – Werner May 11 '16 at 18:26
  • I usually use \begin{frame}...\end{frame}. I am very new to beamer – Gytis May 11 '16 at 18:28
  • You want to do this on every frame? If I were in your audience I would find that very distracting. – erik May 11 '16 at 19:32
  • I'm going to present a math talk and thought that I would show a new empty slide with the name on top "Topic X". Then give some background in words about Topic X and only then show the formulas etc. I think this would help to get more attention to what I am talking about. At least for me, when I attend the talks and see a new slide I start reading immediately and then the words of the speaker are somewhere in the background – Gytis May 11 '16 at 19:39

Adding \addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{}{\pause} to the preamble should do the trick.

enter image description here

\documentclass{beamer}
\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{}{\pause}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame title}
Frame content
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Other frame title}
Other frame content
\end{frame}
\end{document}

  • Thanks! Your MWE certainly works. However, I also use \pause in the frames and then everything gets messed up.

    \documentclass{beamer} \addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{}{\pause} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Frame title} Frame content \end{frame}

    \begin{frame} \frametitle{Another frame} \begin{equation} x= y \end{equation}\pause

    \begin{equation} y=x \end{equation} \end{frame}

    \end{document}

    @Gytis Yeah, I realized this as well. You may need to use relative overlay specifications or an \addtocounter somewhere. I'll try to take a look at this again later. – erik May 11 '16 at 20:25
  • maybe I'll just write some more \pause commands as it seems to be faster, unless one decides to start a slideshow factory. Don't worry too much – Gytis May 11 '16 at 20:30
