I searched stack and net for use gif in beamer presentation. most of result are about at-least for two or three years ago. most of them used converted images, and some of them had serious problem with frames, autoplay, footline and so on.
now my question is after these years there is not a simple way to use gif in beamer presentation. if problem is with readers is there any plugin for reader softwares to handle this problem?

as you see this question asked 2 years ago but still do not have best answer mark.

as matter of fact I hope there be a way that \includegraphic support gif or new command or package created to solve this issue.

using gif in presentation is very common today, and still hope developers who are joined this site pay much attention to it.

  • I don't think there is some miraculous new method. tex.stackexchange.com/q/240243/36296 should still be the methods to go

  • Nothing has changed. (Animated) Gif is not supported by the PDF ISO standard. Thus, no one providing a PDF viewer will take the effort to also include a Gif viewer plugin, because it would target at non-conforming PDF files. Thus the methods presented in tex.stackexchange.com/q/240243 may be the only options.

  • Unless PDF specifications change it will stay like this

  • @asys Well, take the effort and read the linked answers. They tell you about the commands and packages to be used. BTW, only the questioner may set the best-answer-mark. If others could do instead, they would have done, probably.

    @asys Perfect example of when not to use .gif. Save the images individually and use either multiinclude or animategraphics to animate them in beamer. By storing them as .gif you loose quality which will be noticeable in things like your red line. (my personal opinion)
