Thanks! I did that so I could have part of the word in front of his arm and part behind. You can get a better idea here: www.montilladesign.com/post/create-animated-deck-slides-in-adobe-indesign
Hey Arockya. Not a silly question. Windows/Android users can view their work in an E-Reader, such as Adobe Digital Editions. To export from InDesign, go to File > Export > EPub (Fixed Layout).
@@AngeloMontilla Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I did learn something that i knew it existed but did know how to use and apply it. This will definitely help improve my layouts as well as my knowledge in InDesign. Thank you again.
Fantastic! I really like your videos. All of them. How do I put an animation on Instagram? Another thing, can you teach me how to create animated carousel and "Reels" for instagram using IN5 in InDesign? May Success always be with you, online teacher.
Hi Marco! Thanks for watching and following along. Your first question: There is no way of exporting a GIF or movie file that would be IG-ready. So what I do as a workaround is publish online and then use QuickTime or the PC equivalent to screen record that section of the animation. Save it as a movie file and then share to IG. Just keep in mind if you know you're creating something for IG to set up the InDesign doc to 1080 x 1080 so when you screen record, it will fit nicely. Your second question: I don't have the full in5 subscription so I wouldn't be able to go over that specifically. However, I am showing more Adobe Animate tutorials in which you can create animations and export them to animated GIF or mp4 and then post the social media. So be sure to follow along!
I have a problem with text inside table. Somehow half the text is dissapear. But if i reduce the font size, the rest of the text are there. Tryin to google how to fix it, and others have the same problem too. Adobe respond to upgrade the Indesign but still not fix it. Maybe you can help. Thank you
Hey there! Yes and no. You can't directly export an animation from an InDesign that can be placed in an email. If you wanted it to be a true HTML email, you'd have to go to File > Export and export as HTML. Hand off the folders and images to a developer to prepare it for email use. That being said, there's a work-around if you just want a GIF to embed an email. • Publish the document online and let it play through a few times. • With screen recording software (example: Quicktime) select the area that is animating. • Save the video to your desktop. • Go to express.adobe.com and convert the video to a GIF. Presto! You have a GIF that you can embed in an email and add a link to. I hope that helps.
Hi from the west coast of Canada. Hope you are well. I love your tutorials and your style of delivery. I have tried a few indesign projects and have found your tutorials to be the ones I use for reference. However, I have not had any luck beyond Save-as. I tried to send a catalogue I created for work to people in my department and was disappointed in the results. Some couldn't open the file, and the ones that could all had corrupted versions of what I had created. Text was jumbled together, items become uncentred where once they were centered and the overall look was different from what I had saved and sent. And all were using Adobe Digital Editions. I even tried on my machine, the one that created it, and it was corrupted. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a good troubleshooting source you know of? (Adobe is not a good source). Thanks in advance if you are able to help me. If not keep up the great work.
Hey there! Thanks for the nice comments from a fellow Canadian! :) From the sounds of it, you could be doing 1 of 2 things, but since you said you opened in Adobe Digital Editions, you exported as an EPub. However, make sure you select EPub (Fixed Layout) - which does exactly that - keeps your design (images and text) fixed. If you're choose Reflowable, the text will reflow based on the screen it's being displayed on and when you zoom in/out of the project. You'll get different results if you're opening on a monitor compared to a tablet or mobile reader. You could also try Publish Online and viewing the project in a web browser. Best of luck.
@@AngeloMontilla Hi. Thanks for the quick response. I was actually watching another of your videos when your reply came in. I will give your suggestions a try. PS I kind of thought you were a Canuck. The accent obviously, but also the landmarks in some of your images you use.
Hey there! This can't be published for Interactive PDF because Animation is not supported for that platform. EPub or Publish Online are your best bets! Take care.
@@indigomews Interactive PDF is being phased out because it is flash-based. Animation was never supported for PDF - Rich Media only. This project can be exported for EPub for e-reader or Publish Online.
Unfortunately, there is no setting to publish and view offline. Export the document by going to File > Export > EPUB (Fixed Layout), which will allow you to view the work in Books on a Mac or iPad. Publish Online makes it live for anyone to view. Hope this helps.
Thanks@@DouglasFischer! If you're a web developer (which I am not) you can export the HTML by going to File > Export > HTML, but this will not preserve the animations. It preserves paragraph/character styles, object styles, in a web-ready form. An alternative is using the Publish Online and using the Embed Code or using the third-party plugin In5. Keep in mind this is a free plug-in to demo, but you'll have to purchase a license for what you'll need to do. Here's the link: ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/ Hope that helps.
Great question. I always set up some sort of grid or column system to projects. In this case, I didn't really honour it for the tutorial I was demonstrating.
