— Laura Brady (@LauraB7)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:06:55 - If InDesign is part of workflow, ID animations are great for kid's book FXL. #eprdctn

— Diane Burns (@dianeburns_sf)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:04:12 - InDesign lets you build simple > complex animations, can be added to buttons or hotspots. Familiar UI for ID users. #eprdctn

— Diane Burns (@dianeburns_sf)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:08:47 - ID animations to FXL export is straightforward to iBooks, Kobo, Readium supported. Animations hold up beautifully. #eprdctn

— Laura Brady (@LauraB7)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:12:49 - @dianeburns_sf I suspect it will work on Kobo iOS and Android. Can I test it for you? #eprdctn

— Tzviya Siegman (@TzviyaSiegman)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:14:16- @TzviyaSiegman @dauwhe It's a slice of what I do for very specific publishers. But I see a spike in interest in animations. #eprdctn

— Jon Simpson (@simjon)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:22:03- @TzviyaSiegman @dauwhe lots of interest, few have pulled the trigger, cost for development, time, etc holds them back #eprdctn

— eBookNoir (@eBookNoir)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:23:20 - @eBookNoir @TzviyaSiegman @dauwhe And this is partly why @dianeburns_sf is here. Getting them out of ID is cheaper. #eprdctn

— Laura Brady (@LauraB7)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:24:22 - @dianeburns_sf Love it or hate it, I always say it's a very democratic tool because most people already have it. #eprdctn

— Laura Brady (@LauraB7)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:27:23 - @LauraB7 @TzviyaSiegman @dauwhe @dianeburns_sf true, but you still need to QA and check, found some issues in past, maybe fixed now #eprdctn

— Diane Burns (@dianeburns_sf)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:14:05 - #eprdctn can also set animation to start off screen, so an element seems to be coming from a location, say a rocketship.

— eBookNoir (@eBookNoir)Wed, Jul 29 2015 15:18:05 - .@Kris_Vetter I have many clients who didn't think to save their artwork in layers and for whom animating now is too $$$. #eprdctn
