animate | Animated GIF shows only first Image

Post by scunning »

I'm wanting to include an animated gif of Colbert wagging his finger in my beamer presentation. I'm using the animate package to do so, but so far I have been unsuccessful at getting it to compile. I think something beyond my code is the problem because I tried this example which includes a stand-alone option, and it still wouldn't work. My compiled file appears to only include the first image, but isn't rotating through them to create the animation. Here's my code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
  \usetheme{Warsaw}
  \setbeamercovered{transparent}
}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{animate}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{movie15}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

\usepackage{booktabs} 
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}


\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Scientific Methodology}
        \begin{center}
		\begin{columns}
		       \column{.5\textwidth}
		            \animategraphics[autoplay,loop]{10}{Hypnotic}{}{}
		       \column{.5\textwidth}
		  \begin{itemize}
		    \item
		      Science is \alert{not} about marshaling evidence to ``prove'' what you already believe or want others to believe.
\pause		    \item
		      Science entails accepting unexpected and even undesirable answers.
\pause		    \item
		      A scientist cannot be \textcolor{blue}{outcome} oriented; she must be \alert{process} and \alert{principle oriented}
		   \end{itemize}
		\end{columns}
        \end{center}
    \end{frame}

\end{document}
