About in5 Animated GIF Maker

The in5 Animated GIF Maker lets you create animated GIFs (and videos) using Adobe InDesign. Take advantage of InDesign's easy-to-use Animation and Timing tools to create animated images for social media (Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter) and email newsletters. The GIF Maker is free to use, but a license is required for in5. More info: http://in5.ajar.pro Note: GIFs only support 256 colors, and in an animated GIF that color palette is shared across all of the frames. So photographic images will look grainy (and they do in all GIFs). v2 now supports recording of images and adds built-in optimization. v3 lets you export video so that you can open in Photoshop and get precious control of your colors before exporting to an animated GIF from there.
