Maybe this is not the right place to ask but I will give it a try:

Let's say I have 2 versions of a beamer presentation: one with stepwise dias (with \pause) and another framewise (without \pause). Now if I update/modify the stepwise version, I must change the framewise version manually which is in my opinion not a great idea... On the one hand it is tedious work and on the other hand it is prone to mistakes.

I have tried to look for such scripts on the Internet but I did not find anything. Could you please share yours (if you have any)?

    Hi. I think you might be looking for the handout class option, which is described in this answer. – Circumscribe May 12 '20 at 08:12

    if that is the only difference just have one document and use \mypause then define \mypause to be \pause or empty depending which document you want. – David Carlisle May 12 '20 at 08:47
  • you can use the techniques described in https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=583 to automatically compile two versions of your document, one with the handout documetclass option, and one without – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz May 12 '20 at 13:57
  • This seems to do the trick for now! I just realized that I might later on add some step-by-step "animations" where it might be useful to actually see them step-by-step but not the rest of the beamer. @David Carlisle your answer can still be applied to that, right? I would then use \mypause for the animations and \pause for the rest. – topkek May 12 '20 at 14:50
  • yes or mypausea \mypauseb \mypausec for three different type of pause and turn them on or off indivistally – David Carlisle May 12 '20 at 14:55
