Animation in LaTeX/Beamer from gif, Mac OS X

Open your gif in preview.app

save it like an pdf. I do this like this:

File -> Print

I choose the image to be without borders and so and klick on

PDF -> Save as PDF

then use automator app:

1 Choose new workflow

2 Drag your PDF in the empty space

3 Choose PDF

4 "PDF to images" drag under your file

5 Set were you want to save it and its name (your_file)

6 Run

Then follow this:

You will get n-frames PDF files names your_filen.pdf where n is the number of the frame. Let's use these files into our Beamer/LaTeX source file :

In the header part, do not forget to add :

\usepackage{animate} %need the animate.sty file

Then, where you need to display your animation : \animategraphics[autoplay,loop,height=5cm]{1}{your_file}{1}{n}
