Tikz: Your graphic driver pgfsys-pdftex.def does not support animations

Question

I have a problem with animations in Tikz. I get the following error message: Package pgf Warning: Your graphic driver pgfsys-pdftex.def does not support animations.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{animations}
\begin{document}
\tikz \draw :xshift = {0s = "0cm", 30s = "-3cm", repeats} (0,0) circle (5mm);
\end{document}

So if anyone can help me?

Here is the log:

Answer 1

This is explained in the TikZ manual in section 26 (page 380) about the animations tikzlibrary.

Quote from section 26.1.1 on page 381:

To make a long story short: TikZ animations currently work only with SVG output (and use the SMIL "flavor" of describing animations). In future, it may well happen that other "flavor" [sic] of describing animations will be added, but it is very unlikely that PDF will ever support animations in a useful way.

And section 26.1.2 Limitations of the Animation System:

There are a certain limitations of the animation system that you should keep in mind when considering how and when to use it:

1. As pointed out earlier, animations require a specific output format (currently only SVG is supported).

Since you tried to use PDF output the warning is generated.

Answer 2

While the animations library is intended for creating animated SVG in the first place, it can still be used for other output formats, such as PDF.

The key /tikz/make snapshot of=<time> can be used to convert this kind of animation into a PDF animation. Typeset with pdflatex or lualatex:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{animations}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
\begin{animateinline}[autoplay, loop]{25}
\multiframe{\inteval{3025+1}}{rTime=0+\fpeval{1/25}}{ % total number of frames = duration  frames per second + 1
  \tikz [make snapshot of = \rTime] {
    \useasboundingbox (-3,0) circle (5mm) (0,0) circle (5mm);
    \draw :xshift = {0s = "0cm", 30s = "-3cm", repeats} (0,0) circle (5mm);
  }
}
\end{animateinline}
\end{document}

Another example taken from the TikZ documentation:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{animations}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
\begin{animateinline}[autoplay, loop, controls, width=2in]{25}
\multiframe{\inteval{10*25+1}}{rTime=0+\fpeval{1/25}}{
  \tikz [make snapshot of = \rTime]
    \node :fill opacity = { 0s="0", 5s="1" }
    :rotate = { 6s="0", 10s="360", repeats, restart=false}
    [fill = blue!20, draw = blue, ultra thick, circle]
    {Hello!};
}
\end{animateinline}
\end{document}
