InDesign: Animation and motion path

June 23, 2010 Leave a Comment Written by Cari Jansen

Last night’s InDesign User Group meeting in Perth was a great success. Michelle one of our members kept track of the number of new features covered during the 2hr InDesign CS5 show-and-tell session: 34 for the evening! Thank You Michelle for keeping track of the total and dotting the number down on your evaluation form!

To conclude the evening we covered the new Interactive features that Adobe’s added to InDesign CS5. Animation, Object States, Timing etc. Most popular amongst these features was the creation of custom motion paths in InDesign CS5.

We witnessed three little fish swim across the page… and playing happily together… I’ve recorded that part of the demo in a short YouTube video.
