- jflowers45 9y agoI use ScreenFlow for screen recording and they added export as animated gif recently. It's so easy - highly recommend it. https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm

- jflowers45 9y agoI think the spirit of the question was "how best to do it from the gazillion options that are out there"
- leeoniya 9y agothere aren't a gazillion options, though; it's more like 5.
- untog 9y ago"Which of the five options for GIF recording do you recommend" is still a valid question though, no? Why not save everyone the time of trying all five themselves?
- talmand 9y agoPlus more of the idea of "I think you make good stuff, would you be willing to share how you did it?"
- umaar 9y agoGenerally, I'd say: keep it short and digestible. Also watch out for extra noise on the screen, otherwise it'll distract the viewer. And having an ending transition can be useful for understanding when the gif is done, since their looping nature can make this aspect confusing. Software: Typically Screenflow. It has a built in Gif preset which I'll sometimes use, or if better compression is needed: https://gist.github.com/dergachev/4627207 https://gist.github.com/dergachev/4627207
