I have a beamer slide with items that reveal and then become opaque using overlays. Some elements become hidden. When using handout
mode, I would like to create two slides for the frame. The catch is that for handout mode, I want the opaque items to become invisible.
In this MWE, I demonstrate the basic issue. Each item becomes gray, as the slides progress. Nested items become invisible once we progress.
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamercovered{again covered={\opaqueness<1->{35}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Split into two slides for handout}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<+|handout:1> First item, becomes grey when covered again, shows in first handout slide, want to disappear completely in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:1> Only shows while first item is uncovered, and in first handout slide
\end{itemize}
\item<+|handout:1> Second item, becomes grey when covered, shows in first handout slide, want to disappear completely in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:1> Only shows while second item is uncovered, and in first handout slide
\end{itemize}
\item<+|handout:2> Third item, shows in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:2> Shows along with third item, and in handout slide
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Now, compare when using the handout
option:
\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamercovered{again covered={\opaqueness<1->{35}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Split into two slides for handout}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<+|handout:1> First item, becomes grey when covered again, shows in first handout slide, want to disappear completely in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:1> Only shows while first item is uncovered, and in first handout slide
\end{itemize}
\item<+|handout:1> Second item, becomes grey when covered, shows in first handout slide, want to disappear completely in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:1> Only shows while second item is uncovered, and in first handout slide
\end{itemize}
\item<+|handout:2> Third item, shows in second handout slide
\begin{itemize}
\item<only@.|handout:2> Shows along with third item, and in handout slide
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Everything works as desired when not in handout
mode. However, I would like items 1 and 2 to become hidden, and not take up any space, on slide 2 when in handout
mode. Right now, on the second slide in handout
mode, the first two items are just greyed out.
