Is it possible to put the title slide to somewhere in the middle of the presentation when I create my presentation with Beamer? That is, suppose I want to show a couple of slides in the very beginning of my presentation, and after these slides I want to show the title slide (i.e., the slide that includes the title, authors and etc.). I've seen a post where some nice people discussed on creating sections in the presentation, but this is not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks very much in advance.

As it turns out, it is pretty straightforward to solve this problem. What I needed to solve this problem was just moving \maketitle
command into the middle where I want to show the title page. I put all the information that I want to use in the title (such as the authors) with the proper commands before \begin{document}
, and then I moved \maketitle
into the middle which solved the problem.
I decided by creating a separate .tex file for the first page and including it in the middle of the presentation with the \include
command. Follow mwe:
Main file:
\documentclass[10pt, a4paper, serif]{beamer}
\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}
\title[]{Test I}
\subtitle[]{}
\author[Alexandre Loures]{Alexandre Loures}
\institute{}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{}{\
test I
}
\end{frame}
\include{title} % <= here comes the file created the part
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{}{\
test II
}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The other file created the part (which I called title.tex) is as follows:
\section{}
\title[]{Test II}
\subtitle[]{}
%\author[]{}
\institute{}
\date{}
\maketitle
Result:
beamer
comes with\againframe
, which allows you to repeat a given frame. So you may just use that to repeat the title page.\againframe
, that looks promising. One thing I need to check, I don't want to repeat the title page. I want to use only one frame for title page, but I want to put this frame to somewhere around 3rd slide. Thanks again.\begin{frame}[plain] \titlepage \end{frame}
? If so, can't you just move that frame? If this does not work, you may want to post an MWE, i.e. a little document that shows what you are doing.\begin{frame}
and\end{frame}
. But, anyhow, I just solved the problem, and posted an answer below. Thanks again for your help.
