# Beamer \animategraphics Missing $inserted \end{frame} I am using the animate package to make some nice animations from several pdfs created in R. I have 3 animations in my beamer presentation, but now I'm trying to insert the forth and I get the error: Missing$ inserted \end{frame}.


If I replace such new animation with other it works. The code I'm using is

\begin{frame}{Deaths 1997-2013}
\centerline{\animategraphics[controls,buttonsize=0.3cm,width=7.5cm]{5}{"AP_inc_"}{1997}{2013}}
\end{frame}


and just with this set of pdfs the error appears. Can somebody help me.

• Just a guess AP_inc_ looks suspicious. Try to get rid of underscores by renaming the file. – user11232 Aug 22 '14 at 3:38
• Thanks I changed the name of the pdfs but now the error is: Argument of \@tempc has an extra } \end{frame} – vmgarciag Aug 22 '14 at 15:25
• try \usepackage{grffile} – user2478 Aug 24 '14 at 12:10
• No error here after removing the quotes "...". Please prepare a minimal compilable example. – AlexG Aug 27 '14 at 9:20
• @AlexG Care for an answer? – percusse Jul 31 '15 at 21:18

The file basename (file name AP_inc_????.pdf without frame number and extension) has to be specified without quotes:
\animategraphics[controls,buttonsize=0.3cm,width=7.5cm]{5}{AP_inc_}{1997}{2013}
