[OS X TeX] Previewing PDF with movie/aniations

Hi, Themis.

This post seems to indicate that Skim may do what you like. It’s free and I think open source. I like Skim very much. (Mac OS X.)

Acrobat gives a silly hand for a cursor and no laser pointer or other annotation tools that would be useful during presentation. I would consider payware if the options are right.
