I want to know the procedure to embed video and animation in LaTeX step by step.
I tried to follow the instructions from this forum and wrote a LaTeX file.
This is my code for embedding a video in LaTeX beamer
…an icon is visible in the third slide but when I am clicking that video is not playing…I have tried with .avi
file also. I do not know what went wrong
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{ctable}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,letterpaper}
\usepackage{movie15}
% \usepackage{media9}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand{\fullpage}[1]{
\begin{frame}
#1
\end{frame}
}
\author{~}
\institute{Linux Community}
\title{Emdedded Video on Latex}
\begin{document}
\frame{ \titlepage }
\fullpage{See Demo video}
\begin{frame}
abc
\includemovie[poster,autoplay,externalviewer, text={\small(Loading bloch.mp4)}]{6cm}{6cm}{bloch.mp4}
% \includemedia
% [
% activate=pageopen,
% width=200pt,height=150pt,
% addresource=bloch.mp4,
% % text={\small(Loading bloch.mp4)}
% flashvars={%
% source=bloch.mp4% same path as in addresource!
% &autoPlay=true% % optional configuration
% &loop=true% % variables
% }
% ]{}{VPlayer.swf}
def
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I would be really grateful if someone helps me out.

In addition to Karl's students answers (Can we use media9 to show a video on a PDF but the video is not embedded to the PDF?) and this other question: gif image in beamer presentation I can suggest what I did for my thesis presentation:
In the preamble of the beamer:
And then I included my file like this:
As you can see, I used the
.swf
file extension. I too had a .avi file and in order to convert it to .swf I used AnyVideoConverter.I hope this helps
