Sara Curynski		 en 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!

Jenny Lynn Walding		 If you were looking to use this for display ads, keep searching. All my assets indexed came in less than 100k (with animations) via InDesign with in5 extension. As soon as I 'recorded' the gif, it was in the 1.5mb range... eons away from where it needs to be. No matter of trial and error, I could not get it anywhere near the 150k cap. I am not saying it's not a worthwhile extension into InDesign, but for display ads, it did not work for me.

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

Debra Heiser		 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.

Ahna R		 Le concept a l'air intéressant et original, mais lorsque j'ajoute l'extension, un téléchargement est demandé et il ne marche pas malgré plusieurs tentative où le fichier n'arrive pas à s'installer (il ne se passe plus rien au moment de la finalisation). J'ai l'impression que l'extension a besoin de Adobe InDesign, le problème vient peut-être de là car je suis sur un Chromebook où Adobe InDesign n'est pas disponible.

2020-04-09 Ivan Merckx I made an Indesign file with animation. Exported with in5 as a banner. Openen in my browser, looks great, but then converted it with in5 animated GIF maker. The GIF file it generates looks awfull. I cannot use this ... I am working with the trial version of in5, just to discover it is usefull for me. Don't know this has something to do with the awfull conversion.
