In addition to commented transitions between frames, Beamer can do many several effects within frames with commands \pause
, \only
, \visible
\uncover
or \onslide
, that have overlays specifications that can be also applied to normal LaTeX \items of enumerate or itemize environments for example, or at the whole environments.
A transition within a frame is obtained generating a new slide, so have in mind that the abuse of these effects can slow down significantly your talk and boring your audience if there are not time constrains.But a judicious combinations of overlays with \alert
or \spot
(need package of the same name) could be very effective.
The following MWE is only a frame the produce 3 slides showing some of these effects.
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\setbeamercovered{dynamic}
\begin{frame}{Only a frame, slide \thepage}
Normal text \alert<1-3>{ 1}\alert<2-3>{ 2}\alert<3>{ 3}
\only<1>{First only}
\only<2>{Second only}
\only<3>{Third only}
\visible<1>{First visible}
\visible<2>{Second visible}
\visible<3>{Third visible}
\uncover<1-3>{First uncover}
\uncover<2-3>{Second uncover}
\uncover<3>{Third uncover}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<1|alert@1> First enumerate
\item<2> Second enumerate
\item<3> Third enumerate
\end{enumerate}
\begin{itemize}[<+-| alert@+>]
\item item
\item item
\item item
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
