Previously I've been using GifCam, but it doesn't play well with my retina display, so I had to come up with something. There's strong options for Mac but no good free options for Windows.
I can use the native Windows snipping tool to record my screen, but I'm unable to save the recording as a gif, resulting in pretty big MP4 files. I don't want that. So I created this little script that can convert the recorded MP4 file to GIF for a great reduction in file size.
- Install ffmpeg from www.ffmpeg.org
- Update the path to ffmpeg in the bat file
