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.

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!

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.
