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:
| <% | |
| require 'cgi' | |
| require 'uri' | |
| def attribute(name, value, force_string = false) | |
| if value | |
| value_string = | |
| if force_string | |
| '"' + value + '"' | |
| else |
| gifify() { | |
| if [[ -n "$1" ]]; then | |
| if [[ $2 == '--good' ]]; then | |
| ffmpeg -i $1 -r 10 -vcodec png out-static-%05d.png | |
| time convert -verbose +dither -layers Optimize -resize 600x600\> out-static*.png GIF:- | gifsicle --colors 128 --delay=5 --loop --optimize=3 --multifile - > $1.gif | |
| rm out-static*.png | |
| else | |
| ffmpeg -i $1 -s 600x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=3 > $1.gif | |
