This is a simple and clean LaTeX template for the presentation associated with the annual report of the Bioengineering and Robotics PhD progam from University of Genova (with VIDEO (and audio) EMBEDDING IN LATEX!):
You can inspect a precompiled version of it here. Or, alternatively,
All the definitions are in 00-def.tex, all the imports in 00-imports.tex and all settings are in 00-settings.tex. This is a very simple but clean organization of the template which users are encouraged to employ.
Feel free to add new functions, improve the existing ones or customize the style to suit your needs.
This template supports embedding video in the presentation with the utility command \includevideo[mp4][pageopen][pageclose][${aspect_ratio}]{${width}}{${video_name}}
. The way this works is that there is, by convention, a video folder located at ./videos
and videos MUST be placed in the root of this folder. Before adding any new video to the presentation, you have to run the extract_first_frames.bash
script located at the root of the template. This will automatically extract the placeholders to be used for the videos.
Main package dependencies:
- Pdf visualization with slideshow and video support: Okular. Install on Linux with
sudo apt install okular
. Okular is tested and works with this template and also provides quite a complete set of tools, including drawing on the slides and customizing transitions between them. Other readers might work as well. \includevideo
is a wrapper on top of themedia9
package. Install it on Linux withsudo apt install texlive-latex-extra
