In Beamer, \begin{itemize}[<+->] causes items to appear one-by-one. However, item 1 is visible starting from the first slide itself. Is there a way to insert a pause before the first item too?

of course I can manually type

\item<2-> first
\item<3-> second
...

but is there a shortcut way to specify this?

    You could put an explicit \pause before the itemize environment. Would that suffice?

  • Hey, thanks! That works. For some reason, I thought pause was only allowed before \item

Simply write \pause before the itemize environment. This will achieve the effect you want.

    If you have other elements after the itemize which should be seen right from the beginning, the method by Mitja is preferable.

As described by Lionel Mansuy in this duplicate of this question, the following also works: \begin{itemize}[<+(1)->]

Note that all <+-> tokens on the same slide also need to be replaced by <+(1)-> for this to work properly.
