My Beamer template

Beamer theme obtained as a customization of the metropolis theme.

Tips

Figures

I explicitly set a relative graphicspath in the template.tex main tex file for where I save the images (./fig_slides/ by default). I heavily use textblock for positioning of figures, blocks, etc. See example usages compiling template.tex.

Notes on secondary screen

You can add notes for yourself using \note and setting \setbeameroptions{show notes on second screen=right}. This will require a pdf reader that can split each page of the pdf. I use pdfpc for this, which also allows embedding videos.

Multimedia

I am able to play mp4 and gif animations in my slides using the multimedia package:

\movie[width=0.9\textwidth,height=0.95\textheight,showcontrols=true,autostart=true]{}{./path/to/movie.mp4}

This works at least with okular and pdfpc as pdf readers.

Note that \movie will not use the graphicspath set in the document pre-amble.
