In LyX, a "Beamer note" is just an inset, so it is saved in the .lyx file as any inset (e.g., like a URL inset or a Note inset). There is also a Note environment, and it is saved like any environment. When compiling to PDF, you need to add some preamble code, otherwise the Note contents will be ignored (by Beamer). I'm using this basic setup: % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/21872/12212 \usepackage{pgfpages} \setbeamertemplate{note page}[plain] \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} > Btw, I've installed it and it looks great, but have to figure out if > the setup > - multiple displays etc. are eas easy as with pdfpc since presentation > will be done by not-so-tech-savvy person. :-) One tip: sometimes I think Pympress gets confused and is not sure which monitor is for you and which is for the audience. If it starts up the wrong way, press "s" to swap. Just in case though, you might want to make sure the presenter notes on the first slide aren't too embarrassing if they are accidentally revealed to the audience :). > > Indeed you have to use the Pympress viewer. > > Yeah, similar as with pdfpc.. > > > I'm not sure how to use Evince with presentation notes.

I have used a video slide successfully before with Pympress. I remember searching and I think I found it is also supported by pdfpc but I could not test it. Also with Pympress, I remember it worked on one computer and for some reason did not work on the other. I did not narrow it down to whether it was a difference in Pympress viewer versions, or what, but I did come away with the feeling that it was "fragile". This week and next are a bit busy for me. How time-sensitive is this? I can try to find time to make a full Pympress example and send you the .lyx file and video file and see if it works for you. Would that help? Scott
