animated gifs of a screencapture video using gifify

• use QuickTime Player to screen record.
• then use https://github.com/jclem/gifify to convert to a gif

gem install gifify
curl -o ~/bin/gifify -O https://raw.github.com/jclem/gifify/master/gifify.sh && chmod +x ~/bin/gifify
gifify -o bulk-change-blog-author.gif bulk-change-blog-author.mov

• Here is a working example from using giffy

(thanks to https://github.com/jclem at heroku, they use hipchat alot, and they made a tool for it)

Even more advanced - screen record straight into a GIF!
