I've tried doing this screen-capture-to-gif thing before but it was always frustrating. I'd love to hear about the workflow to make a gif like this.

- duiker101 7y agoWow I never heard of this and it looks awesome! Thanks for the share!
- mathieudutour 7y agoI've used the default MacOS screen recording (cmd + shift + 5) and then edited/speed up some parts with iMovie. Then I transform the video into a gif using https://github.com/mathieudutour/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/mov-to-gif https://github.com/mathieudutour/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/mo... Hope that helps!
- thomascgalvin 7y agoI used to do the same, but I've had MacOS's default software crash with long-ish (about an hour) content. I switch to Open Broadcaster Software[1] after that; free and open source, and very well made. The learning curve isn't that steep, either, if you're just doing regular screen/audio capture. [1]
- timvisee 7y agoFor terminal based things I've been using `asciinema`. There are various options to play/render such recordings, such as to an interactive SVG. SVGs are lot smaller than GIFs in file size, and are even scalable. See one of my projects for example: https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend#ffsend-wip https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend#ffsend-wip
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoEven better is ttyrec + tty-player for full self-hosting without a third party intervening. You get interactive playback controls and scroll buffer access while paused. https://github.com/chris-morgan/tty-player https://github.com/chris-morgan/tty-player
- timvisee 7y agoThat isn't something I can embed in a GitHub README. But it looks cool anyway.
- timdorr 7y agoIf you're doing just text/terminal recording, Asciinema is probably your best option: https://asciinema.org/ https://asciinema.org/
