Animations into pdfLatex from After Effects

How would I go about forming animations in Latex? Is it possible to make animations or embed videos without having to use Adobe Acrobat etc? Essentially, I have an animation if Adobe After effects and was wondering if it is possible to embed this into pdfLatex (I am using TeXWorks) without needing to use Adobe Acrobat to view it. I have tried converting it into a png sequence through Adobe media encoder but I don’t know where to go from there. I have heard of the animate package, but don’t we need to use Adobe Acrobat to utilise it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
