beamer and movie15

Post by CoolnessItself »

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{movie15}

\begin{document}
\includemovie{0.5\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}{mymovie}
\end{document}
mymovie is an avi. I've also tried an animated gif of the same content. In both instances, I get
! Package movie15 Error: File `mymovie' cannot be opened for embedding.
(movie15)
Did you forget to set option `url' or `inline=false'?
I'm using MikTex2.8 and the latest movie15 that shows up in the package manager.

Suggestions?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

At first you should translate the suggestions you got from the log file (see above). It may be better to follow the descriptions from the beamer manual (Section 14 - Animations, Sounds, and Slide Transitions, p. 125ff).
