  I’ve been using this to visually demonstrate features in pull requests. Combined with Gifski for gifs, it’s really nice.

    Gitlab and GitHub both let you upload videos (and probably more). I still use ffmpeg to convert .mov to .mp4 to get a better file size. But either run circles around the quality and size of .gif

      do they show them inline and play automatically? the thing I love about gifs is that they play automatically so as soon as you open the issue you are seeing the animation of what the problem is.

        They are shown inline but they don't play automatically. But they do let the reviewer pause and rewind to see something they've missed, rather than sit there and wait to hopefully catch what they missed.

    I'm usually committing visual changes for reviewers without easy access to the environment, so I mark up the screenshots in my PRs. It's great

  I used to use Kap for that to convert video to gif afterwards, but this just gives me one less app to use! brew uninstall kap

  Oh that’s cool! I always use QuickTime Player for that, something in the screenshot UI makes more sense

  If only it grabbed the audio too. Would have been a lifesaver. All the apps that do this (that I found) are cr*p or super pricey.

    Quicktime Player has audio in the grab I feel like the screengrab ui also has it too

Cmd + Shift + 5 will also give you access to some of options (as noted in the article) Then let you adjust the selection area in relaxed way I always make sure to enable "Remember Last Selection", which is great when you're taking repeated screenshots of the same area. Once you've created the selection area you'll get exact sizes every time.

Yeah but it's nice to just press keys instead of point and click with CMD-SHIFT-5 options.

And you can press space to toggle between taking a screenshot of an area or of an entire window.
