Tool for creating gif file from capturing active window.
Tool for creating gif file from capturing active window.
Originally it was created for capturing tty output and creating preview for github projects 😉
I needed to capture tty output on my Ubuntu 15.10. First I came up to using ttyrec with ttygif or tty2gif convertor, then find showterm.io. All this solutions didn't work for me 😬 Than I create this simple script that satisfies all my needs.
- scrot
- imagemagick
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick scrot
$ git clone https://github.com/luminousmen/Kgif$ ./kgif.sh --help
usage: ./kgif.sh [--delay] [--filename ] [--gifdelay] [--noclean] [--check] [-h]
-h, --help Show this help, exit
--check Check if all dependencies are installed, exit
--delay=<sec> Set delay in seconds to specify how long script will wait until start capturing.
--gifdelay=<sec> Set delay in seconds to specify how fast images appears in gif.
--filename=<file name> Set file name for output gif.
--noclean Set if you don't want to delete source *.png screenshots.
Check if all dependencies presents in system:
$ ./kgif.sh --checkSet delay in seconds to specify how long script will wait until start capturing.
$ ./kgif.sh --delay=5Set noclean if you don't want to delete source png screenshots (for example if you want to delete some of the screenshots).
$ ./kgif.sh --delay=5 --noclean
