Is there a pdf reader that displays animations?

  • 772

I'm creating a presentation and need to include some animations. I placed the animation in the pdf file using Beamer (after storing the animation in a bunch of png files). Now, when I open the file on Okular or Evince, I don't see any animation. Searching around, I read that Evince doesn't support animations but Okular might support them. Is this true? Is there any other tool you can use?

  1. You can use the Multimedia package to embed movies (mpg, mp4) in a way that you can play them in Okular. Minimal example:

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\begin{document}
\movie[height = 0.6 \textwidth,width = 1.0 \textwidth]{}{animation.mpg}
\end{document}

    from Animation in PDF presentations, without Adobe Reader?
