• (2022-11-23) 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.
• (2022-11-17) Jennifer Thomas: I can create the GIF, but the 'demo' watermark is still showing on the final saved version, so completely unusable.
• (2020-12-17) 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.
• (2020-08-17) 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.
• (2020-04-06) Agata Łyżnik: I cannot make it run either. I've allowed it on all sites and to access the URLs, but the extension is not allowing recording this far. Would be glad to get some help with it!
• (2020-01-06) _o_Ato-san_o_: The same problem is happening to me its appearing in a gray shade and I fixed the problem by allowing it access to files URL but it seems as it still isnt working
• (2019-11-01) Jane Tessman: The extension was a little glitchy for me. When I hit record, the animation started in the middle, and it didn't record to the very end. It also added a little flash of all the layers in my MSO that was set to disappear; this only showed up after hitting the record button and allowing the extension to do everything automatically. It played fine before recording. Here's the work-around I found to fix these issues -- which required some work in Photoshop later: Hit the record button, but then do a manual page-refresh (command-r), this ran the animation the way it’s supposed to from the beginning and without the glitchy flash; this also allowed me to stop the animation manually at the end with the stop button so to capture the entire sequence. After saving it, I opened the file in Photoshop to delete the first few frames it captured before the manual page-refresh. ALSO, Photoshop allowed me to save it at a WAY smaller size than what the extension did.
• (2019-10-17) Michael Stopka: It appears that the extension isnt working as followed by In5's tutorial. The extension is appearing as grayed-out after I perform the In5 export and open in default browser. Cant rate it yet because it isnt opening but I'm so eager to get it working... just offiially activated In5 today (I may be doing something wrong, but I believe I followed the tutorial exactly. On a mac, current Indesign, current In5 and current Chrome browser. I will provide an update if I get it to work. I notified Ajar and am awaiting their response.
