Also, don't forget Licecap, one of the easiest to use and most consistent cross-platform gif-screen-capture tools: http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ I said a very audible "holy shit, this is that guy?" when the link to jesussonic took me to Cockos.

Wow I didn't know he made licecap as well. As far as gif recordings go, it really whips the llamas ass!

  Licecap definitely changed how I worked. If you want the rest of your frontend development team to think you're a god, include licecap or other gifs of features/bugfixes on code reviews. It's a thing most developers don't even think of doing (at least most didn't in my experience). Makes it easy for stake holders (if they're allowed near your code reviews/tickets/whatever), devs, qa, to easily see how functionality has changed. I first learned of it from a young QA at a company I previously worked at, and I am so grateful I met him and was able to learn from him.

    I'd like to give an honorable mention to Debugmode Wink [0] which for a long time was my go-to freeware application for recording and presenting screen-activity on Windows. [0] http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ http://www.debugmode.com/wink/

    At one point licecap stopped working for me (MPB, using an external screen). The Giphy capture tool is also a good one. I wholeheartedly agree that including screenshots are a great way to show things :)

      Yeah, I had a periodic issue with new installs (or would see colleagues have this problem): you'd record something but the gif would be all black. I think there was a fix but I've long forgotten :)

    If you want the rest of your frontend development team to think you're a god, include licecap or other gifs of features/bugfixes on code reviews But if you do, for the love of God make it as short as possible. When I'm browsing through the tickets using some stock web browser, and the anigif runs for five minutes before reaching the point, it is such a pain to have to grab the gif and either dig out a tool than can track through an anigif, or have to cast it into some other format and then track through that. Then, I'm stuck either doing that every time, or attaching another file to the ticket; the same animation, but in a format that we can track through so I don't have to watch the entire five minutes.
