Beamer Transitions
For the itemize, enumerate or similar environments, you can use
\begin{itemize}
\item<1-> First sentence.
\item<2-> Second sentence.
\item<2> Only shown in the second step
\item<3-> Third sentence.
\end{itemize}For any block or some other things, you can make the transition to cover all of the contents:
\begin{frame}{Example}
\onslide<1->{
\begin{block}{}
Shown on all pages.
\end{block}
}
\only<1>{
\begin{block}{}
Only shown in the first page.
\end{block}
}
\only<2>{
Only shown in the second page.
}
\end{frame}If you are not using beamer mode, you need to specify the transition case:
\documentclass[...,trans]{beamer}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{frame}{Example}
\onslide<trans:1->{
\begin{block}{}
Shown on all pages.
\end{block}
}
\end{frame}
...
\end{document}Certainly, you can make the transitions work in different modes:
\documentclass[...,handout]{beamer}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{frame}{Example}
\onslide<1-|trans:1-|handout:1->{
\begin{block}{}
Shown on all pages.
\end{block}
}
\end{frame}
...
\end{document}For example, if we have multiple different pages, we can configure the transition method of each page separately:
\begin{frame}{Example}{First frame}
\transfade[duration=0.5]
\begin{itemize}
...
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Example}{Second frame}
\transboxin[duration=0.5]
\begin{itemize}
...
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}If you want to add the same transition method to each step (page), you can add the following command before your document environment:
\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{\transfade[duration=0.5]}{}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}Do not forget the last {} bracket of this command!
⚠️ Note that you cannot set different animations for a specific frame, if you use this method!
The following examples are copied from the document of beamer.
\transblindshorizontal<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide as if horizontal blinds were pulled away.
Example: \transblindshorizontal
\transblindsvertical<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide as if vertical blinds were pulled away.
Example: \transblindsvertical<2,3>
\transboxin<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by moving to the center from all four sides.
Example: \transboxin<1>
\transboxout<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by showing more and more of a rectangular area that is centered on the slide center.
Example: \transboxout
\transcover<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by covering the content that was shown before.
Example: \transcover
\transdissolve<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by slowly dissolving what was shown before.
Example: \transdissolve[duration=0.2]
\transfade<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by slowly fading what was shown before.
Example: \transfade
\transfly<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by letting the new content fly in before removing the old slide.
Example: \transfly[direction=180]
\transglitter<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide with a glitter effect that sweeps in the specified direction.
Example: \transglitter<2-3>[direction=90]
\transpush<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by pushing what was shown before off the screen using the new content.
Example: \transpush
\transreplace<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Replace the previous slide directly (default behaviour).
\transsplitverticalin<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by sweeping two vertical lines from the sides inward.
Example: \transsplitverticalin
\transsplitverticalout<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by sweeping two vertical lines from the center outward.
Example: \transsplitverticalout
\transsplithorizontalin<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by sweeping two horizontal lines from the sides inward.
Example: \transsplithorizontalin
\transsplithorizontalout<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by sweeping two horizontal lines from the center outward.
Example: \transsplithorizontalout
\transwipe<⟨overlay specification⟩>[⟨options⟩]Show the slide by sweeping a single line in the specified direction, thereby “wiping out” the previous contents.
Example: \transwipe[direction=90]
You can also specify how long a given slide should be shown, using the following overlay-specification-aware command:
\transduration<⟨overlay specification⟩>{⟨number of seconds⟩}In full screen mode, show the slide for ⟨number of seconds⟩. If zero is specified, the slide is shown as short as possible. This can be used to create interesting pseudo-animations.
Example: \transduration<2>{1} Notice that the duration of a slide transition is entire separate from the type of transition which takes place. Most notably, to cancel an existing auto-advance you need to use.
Example: \transduration{} possibly with an overlay specification.
