Instructions

  1. Check out this repository:
  1. Typeset the PDF frames:

    NOTE: You will need tectonic installed.

    ./frames.bash --tectonic

    or

    NOTE: You will need TexLive installed.

    ./frames.bash --xelatex

    or

    NOTE: You will need TexLive installed.

    ./frames.bash --pdflatex

    HINT: The speed of typesetting can vary notably between these engines.

  2. Convert the PDFs to PNGs:

    NOTE: You will need ImageMagick installed.

    ./convert.bash 540

    HINT: The first argument is density.

  3. Create the video and the GIF:

    NOTE: You will need FFmpeg installed.

    ./video.bash

The results are example.mp4 and example.gif:
