I cannot get the MP4 Gif Maker to work at all. When I save as a GIF, it has trouble with my animations. I want this to work but its not!

Sara Curynski, 2024-05-22

I can create the GIF, but the 'demo' watermark is still showing on the final saved version, so completely unusable.

Jennifer Thomas, 2022-11-17

in5 gif maker creates a gif of 19MB! Unusable for email templates or social media. I cannot download the latest version in inDesign 2021. It takes me to a blank tab labeled “Untitled.” I cannot even save the 19MB version after using the in5 plugin in chrome (which I have removed and replaced twice). The “save” button does nothing and goes nowhere. No one available for immediate help, 1-3 business days. I'll have to recreate in photoshop. If this can't be resolved, definitely want a refund.
