Hi, I used gtk-recordmydesktop (beware it will freeze your desktop under Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome but works fine under Unity). It gives you an .ogv file and then there's some editing to get a gif. I described the process at the end of: https://blog.openbloc.fr/javascript-es2015-starter-kit/ https://blog.openbloc.fr/javascript-es2015-starter-kit/ Mainly convert the .ogv to .mp4 with ffmpeg (don't have the command here), create a png palette from the video so your gif colors are more accurate and use ffmpeg to create the gif: ffmpeg -y -i video.mp4 -vf fps=10,scale=800:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen palette.png ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i palette.png -filter_complex 'fps=1,scale=800:-1:flags=lanczos,setpts=0.25*PTS[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse' todoApp.gif This gives you a 800px wide gif, with 1FPS, and sped up 4 times (setpts=0.25) :)
