[Tex/LaTex] Beamer : Include slides between multiple overlays.

beameroverlays

I am creating the overlay effect for the Outline of my presentation using the following code.

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}

\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\frametitle{Overlays}
\onslide<1->{First Line of Text}
\onslide<2->{Second Line of Text}  
\onslide<3->{Third Line of Text}

\end{frame}

\end{document

This gives me 3 slides each having the appropriate text highlighted. How can i include another slide after the first overlay slide ? This slide will explain the topic highlighted, then again next slide should be 2nd overlay slide with 2nd topic highlighted and so on.

Your desired output can be achieved by using Displaying graphics for only one slide in beamer

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}<1>[label=foo]
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\frametitle{Overlays}
\onslide<1->{First Line of Text}

\onslide<2->{Second Line of Text}  

\onslide<3->{Third Line of Text}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
frame with some other text or images explaining something
\end{frame}

\againframe<2>{foo}

\begin{frame}
one more frame
\end{frame}

\againframe<3>{foo}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer: uncovering itemize so the first slide shows no items at all

To increase the overlay counter manually (your title), use:

\addtocounter{beamerpauses}{X}

where X is the number of frames... or

\stepcounter{beamerpauses}

to increment the counter by 1

For example, you proceed like this:

\begin{frame}
\stepcounter{beamerpauses}
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item A
\item B
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

Another possibility is to set the overlay number by hand:

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item<2-> A
\item<3-> B
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

Edit: it seems also possible to use this kind of construction that could fit to your purpose:

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}[<+(1)->]
\item A
\item B
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

or this:

\begin{frame}[<+(1)->]
\begin{itemize}
\item A
\item B
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer overlays: changing font between slides

Is this what you want to achieve?

Draw the lightgray parts only on a specified number of slides using the \only<frame_number> command and afterwards use \onlide<2> (or another frame number` to draw the text in other font/color etc.

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz}

\title{A test} 
\author{Me} 
\date{\today}

\begin{document} 

\begin{frame}   
  \maketitle 
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{This is the test slide}

  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,color=red]
    \draw (current page.south west)++(1,1) coordinate (SW);
    \only<1,3-4>{\draw (SW)++(2,1) node {First bit of text};}
    \only<1-2,4>{\draw (SW)++(4,3.5) node {Second bit of text};}
    \only<1-3>  {\draw (SW)++(6,6) node {Third and final text}};
    \only<2>{\draw[color=blue] (SW)++(2,1) node {\textbf{First bit of text}};}
    \only<3>{\draw[color=blue] (SW)++(4,3.5) node {\textbf{Second bit of text}};}
    \only<4>{\draw[color=blue] (SW)++(6,6) node {\textbf{Third and final  text}};}     
  \end{tikzpicture}    
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I changed from lightgray to red just for the snapshot, because lightgray is hard to recognize in a screenshot.
