Here's an Org-mode Beamer example including the required Emacs/Org-mode customization, the Org file and the resulting pdf. http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/data/org-beamer-example/ Hope it is helpful, -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte

Some of that is in Beamer, but you're correct that some of this involves figuring out the Org-mode analog to the Beamer syntax. Transitions, for example, go in the frame property drawer, and the possible properties/values are listed in the manual. Transition buttons are typically at the theme level, and that's documented countless places online. I've had a lot of trouble getting infolines to do what I want. I just gave up on using themes that have them because I find the mini TOC distracting and of little value to the presentation. Honestly, I wonder if the audience is looking at those dots trying to gauge how much presentation is left to go. Googling, I managed to do most of this stuff (though I didn't figure out yet how to grey out images), but I thought it would be nice to have a real (or a mock one) presentation available somewhere, which uses a lot of the usual stuff that we do for presentations, together with the source code, so that customizing my own presentation could be probably easier. Looking around, there aren't *that* many options to do this in straight Beamer. TikZ came up as one way, and others seemed to simply use a second image (create two duplicate frames, one with the grayed version and the second with the real image). Neither would be particularly difficult via Org. John Ista Zahn's sample presentation was more or less what I was looking for, though obviously it didn't address all the issues I wanted to solve.

Re: [O] Examples of orgmode+beamer presentations?
Hi, thanks everybody for the tips and suggestions. In the end, I mostly googled around, took what I liked from here and there, and ended up with something good enough for the time being (later on I will tweak it again, mainly for the greying-out of images, which I didn't do it right now, but should be easy replicating frames). In case it can be useful to someone else, I put the example here: http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/presentations-with-org-mode-beamer.html (in Linux to view the embedded video you need Acroread 9.4.1 or later (or so I think).

Re: [O] Examples of orgmode+beamer presentations?
I'm not clear on whether you are looking for templates or examples, but if the later, maybe my slides at http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/rtc/event/introduction-r will be of some interest. Scroll down to the bottom and download the .zip file. The rintro.pdf is the beamer export of the rintro.org file.

Not sure you'll find much out there since Org-mode is just using what
you can do with the Beamer LaTeX package. You might have better luck
searching around for Beamer themes and sample PDFs and then accessing
that look/style with Org-mode. This is typically as simple as this at
the top of the document:
#+latex_header: \usetheme[options]{theme-name}
For some Beamer examples:
- Matrix of all the standard themes:
http://www.hartwork.org/beamer-theme-matrix/
- Nice compilation of custom themes: http://latex.simon04.net/
I'm partial to Torino and have been using that at work with the
freewilly color option (blue) for almost everything.
To use it, I just have this at the top of all presentation files:
#+latex_header: \usetheme[alternativetitlepage=true,titleline=true]{Torino}
#+latex_header: \usecolortheme{freewilly}
Sorry if that's not what you're looking for! The recipe page you
posted will show you how to do some various columns and layouts, but
again, this is just doing in Org what you can do manually in Beamer.
The appearance is all going to come from the theme.
John
