Hello Leopold,

Hi,

I like to use LaTeX and if I need to make a presentation I use Beamer. In the past, if I had to insert a video, I could do it with the necessary packages and any Acroread could played it.

It seems that from 2021 it is not possible, although that Okular can show it and I'm quite sure that other pdf viewers that are in the archive can do it.

I would prefer to not use libreoffice to make a presentation but I have not found any useful information to do it in a pdf with the tools that we have in Debian.

Do you know how can I insert a video in a presentation using the package that we have in Debian?

Putting

\usepackage{movie15}

in the preamble (movie15.sty being provided by texlive-latex-extra), one can later include a movie with, for instance,

\begin{frame}
        \begin{figure}
\includemovie[poster, controls]{.75\paperwidth}{.75\paperheight}{path/to/video}
        \end{figure}
\end{frame}

which is not perfect though, as (with evince, on Debian) it prints some funny picture on the slide, then I have to exit full screen during the presentation and click the picture to launch the video -- it has been far enough for me for many years. Running the same .pdf with other operating systems could give you a better result, amazingly.

Maybe some better rendering can be achieved with the options of \includemovie -- see the docs.


Best regards,


Leopold
