Org-inline-anim plays animated GIF or PNG inline in Org buffers.
You can install org-inline-anim from MELPA. For manual installation, download org-inline-anim.el into somewhere in your local directory and install it with M-x package-install-file.
Enable this feature in an Org buffer with M-x org-inline-anim-mode. Add the following line to your init file to automatically enable the feature in newly opened Org buffers.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-inline-anim-mode)You can play an animation by M-x org-inline-anim-animate (or C-c C-x m) when the point is on the image. If you use Org-babel and a result block has an animation image, the command works also in the result block or in the source block that generated the result block.
Without a prefix, the animation will play only once and stop at the last frame. With a single prefix (C-u), the animation will play and loop. You can stop it with a double prefix (C-u C-u) or a numeric arg 0 (C-u 0 or C-0). The former shows the last frame after playback is stopped. The latter shows the first frame instead.
