You gave some really great tips. I'm new but, inDesign is so mammath that I think you're always learning with this program.

These are great! I am wondering how you created that thick pink line that animates in each of your section breaks. ??

I thought that may be after effects or premier pro. But I am just guessing.

I am trying to add GIFs to my pdf with InDesign. I don't want to add any animation to it when appearing. All good when I preview the animation in the EPUB panel. But when I export it to a PDF and I Adobe Acrobat to open my PDF NONE of the GIFs are moving. Are you suppose to export it in a certain way? Or am I doing anything else wrong?

I found that it does work with a .mp4, but not with a GIF

Hi! First of all this was an awesome video with great tips ✨... But I have question about the InDesign and the gif format (and I don't know is this the right place to ask it 😅 if it's not I'm sorry for that). I would like to create a presentation with the help of InDesign and add some gifs as cool details... However the final presentation needs to be pdf - and I don't know how to export a pdf from InDesign with working gif elements. I tried a lot but it's still not working... Has anybody an idea for this?

Hey, I was going to post the same query. Did you have any luck finding a solution?

@Annie-bg7vk 14 күн бұрын

I want to know as well. When I watch it in the interactive preview pannel my gif works, but when I export it to pdf it doesn't.

@Annie-bg7vk 9 күн бұрын

@@ReasonTwentyTwo Maybe you already figured it out, but I found that if you use a .mp4 file it works. GIF didn't work for me either. When you import the .mp4 and go to window > interactive > media. Here you can chose 'play at page loading' and 'play in loop'. When you get an error that you can not import the video, you have to save it again or try again and then it worked for me. You can also change the frame, for example to 'current frame' > now the video will play in the current frame you created (you can crop the video in the frame of your choise. With no frame, it will be as big as the original file. When exporting you use interactive pdf > the pop-ups you can ignore > there are no specific settings. Sometimes you have to click on the video for it to play, with others it plays automatically. Maybe that is in my settings. I hope this helps
