OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	# Start the old vagrant
	$ vagrant init centos-6.3
	$ vagrant up

	# You should see a message like:
	# [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of
	# VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared
	# folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on
	# this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the
	# box.

	#
	# These settings are REALLY sensitive! do you feel lucky??
	# Consult the documentation for etsy/statsd, but it doesn't have all the info.
	#
	# Notes:
	#
	# (a) When determining xFilesFactor, make sure the actual reporting rate would fill enough buckets,
	# so that the downsampling won't result in null values.
	#
	# (b) Up to StatsD v0.5.0, counters are written in two places:
