As you may well be aware, Org changed a lot from 7.x -> 8.x. Have you
been through the various upgrade documents out there? This will be one
of many "surprises" you'll run into if you don't take a look.
- Official upgrade notes: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html
- Walkthrough attempt I made:
http://jwhendy.blogspot.com/2013/03/migrating-to-new-org-mode-exporter-org.html
- Beamer for Org 8.x: http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html

In particular, I'm guessing you don't have the beamer class defined
and aren't aware of =C-c C-e l P= (note capital P), which is the
beamer export function now. It's just sufficient to just define the
class as beamer and export to LaTeX.

Quick answer: go to the second link above and copy that first code
block into your .emacs. Reload your config (or just restart emacs),
and do =C-c C-e l P=. See if that helps.

Thanks, John! I added the beamer definition and used the Upper case P which almost did the trick, in the sense that all the headings are properly exported and the frames look as expected. However, the pdf file is missing the title and author, with only the date showing on the front page.  I don't see anything obviously wrong in the tex file:

\author{dummy}

\date{\today}

\title{Test Frame title}

\hypersetup{

 pdfauthor={dummy},

 pdftitle={Test Frame title},

 pdfkeywords={},

 pdfsubject={},

 pdfcreator={Emacs 24.3.2 (Org mode 8.3.2)},

 pdflang={English}}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{frame}{Outline}

\tableofcontents

\end{frame}

Any idea why?

btw. I searched for hours about migrating from v7 to v8 of orgmode, but didn't come upon your blog. It could've saved me so much headache! Maybe we should add yours as a link on the worg page? I've avoided the migration as per the rule "not breaking what works", but it's time to take the plunge and living through the growing pain :) Thanks for the help!

Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction!
