Ask HN: Tools to do GIF screen recording
I'm on Mac, and it's been a while since I tried it. Just trying it out with the built-in screen record + iMovie produces ~500Mb for 2min video, and no easy way to make a Git from it. Is there a tool to produce a reasonable size (shareable) Gif from screen record? Ideally with some simple things like trim, zoom in, speed adjust, etc.
- bradknowles 6y agoMy experience with GIF animations is that video recording almost always a much more efficient way to record the screen. Like, orders of magnitude. There’s a reason why sites like GIFfy will actually convert GIFs to video files for recording and display, resulting in 10x to 100x smaller files.
