A Ruby command-line tool that converts screencast videos (e.g. .mov files) into animated GIFs using ffmpeg, ImageMagick, and gifsicle. It supports frame rate control, resizing, contrast adjustment, and an optional progress bar overlay.
Use cases
- convert a screencast mov into an animated gif
- create animated gif demos of a CLI tool
- reduce screencast video to a small gif for a README
- add a progress bar overlay to an animated gif
- resize and optimize gif output size
When to choose
- you want a simple scriptable CLI to turn screen recordings into GIFs
- you need Docker or Vagrant packaging to avoid dependency setup
- you want control over framerate, delay, and output dimensions
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates
- you want a GUI-based GIF recorder
- you need to record the screen, not just convert existing video
