The same options (among others) are also available as command options and will be explained shortly. However, if used as package options they have global scope, taking effect on all animations in the document. In turn, command options locally override global settings.
If PDF is generated via DVI and Postscript by the command sequence \verb+latex+ $\rightarrow$ \verb+dvips+ $\rightarrow$ \verb+ps2pdf+, the `graphicx' package is required. \emph{Important:} The \verb+dvips+ option `\verb+-Ppdf+' should \emph{not} be set when converting the intermediate DVI into Postscript. If you cannot do without, put `\verb+-X 2400 -Y 2400+' \emph{after} `\verb+-Ppdf+' on the command line. Sometimes, if the same animation sequence made from graphics files is to be embedded multiple times into the document, more compact PDF output may be obtained by passing option `\verb+-dMaxInlineImageSize=0+' (Unix) or `\verb+-dMaxInlineImageSize#0+' (Win/DOS) to \verb+ps2pdf+.
+Occasionally, a second (pdf)\LaTeX{} run may be necessary to resolve internally created object references. Appropriate warnings will be issued in such cases.

-With `\verb+draft+' the animation is not embedded. Instead, a box with the exact dimensions of the animation is inserted. Option `\verb+final+' does the opposite as it forces the animation to be built and embedded. Both options can be used to reduce compilation time during authoring of a document. To get the most out of them it is recommended to set `\verb+draft+' globally as package or class option and to set `\verb+final+' locally as a command option of the animation that is currently worked on. After the document has been finished, the global `\verb+draft+' option can be removed to embed all animations.
