**Sometimes** using beamer is not too far off from the definition of self-harm. Unlike LaTeX generally, beamer can be a real punch in the face (wacky errors!) if you copy-paste stuff from other .tex files esp if they are "working fine" using other compilers (PDFLaTeX! 

).
And does it have an environment like overprint in LaTeX? Those are my most basic needs.

Not sure what overprint is?
-
It (and other related environments) are what allow you to move seamlessly from one sub-slide to another replacing things here and there without any of the remaining text/images "jumping" around. Simplest case: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rlbpw.gif

It's surprisingly difficult to do when slides become filled with equations, for example, and you wanna change small things here and there. Most people don't even bother to do it and/or don't know it can be done.

I use it extensively when teaching, although I don't do any teaching currently at all. These slides have many of the more complex examples of replacing in situ without any other elements moving when I work through the equations: https://github.com/oliviaguest/connectionism/raw/master/week1/slides/part_2_slides.pdf …

If you are really curious, look at the source code here for those slides (e.g., Ctrl+F "overprint"):https://github.com/oliviaguest/connectionism/blob/master/week1/slides/part_2_slides.tex …

Nice, another neat thing learned today. Thanks.
