I want to add an animation (slideshow over ~70 files) to my beamer presentation. The compilation with pdflatex
works fine, but the resulting pdf only shows the first image of the animation (or whatever is specified as poster
).
Providing a MWE will not work well here, but I used something like this:
\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames]{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[american, ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Dynamik}
\centering
\animategraphics[
autoplay,
loop,
poster=last,
height=.7\textheight
]{1}{./graphics/animation/anim}{1}{10}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I used Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to view the files, and I was able to the the working animations in the animate
pdf. I am using Miktex
with pdflatex
, all packages have been updated to the latest version.
A short comment-driven discussion and a much appreciated compilation help of @Ondrian revealed, that the latex code works fine. The problem has to be somewhere in the compilation chain.
I tried both with pdf
s and png
s, so the file type of the to-be-animated images does not seem to be relevant.
I already updated all relevant packages and refreshed the Miktex
file name database and the format files. I really don't know where to start with this. Any help?
Edit: You can download test files for the animation here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0wu1kvvnsguflz0/AACvlCLGPWwFjJSjZbT79uMka?dl=0

Different AR versions seem to behave differently with regard to PageOpen/PageVisible events which are used to initialise the animation. Some fire the latter, others the former when a page is navigated to in AR.

which evaluates both events, such that none of them is missed, is on the way to CTAN.
