Nah forget it Shayuki has the shit. Webm is crazy compressed. Just dont know what to record with. We need a Webm OFS plugin that would be slick.
Edit: was Captura sorry typo
You can just convert your mp4 to webm through many online services or if you know how to encode stuff you can do it through Shana.
And the same gif made to mp4 to webm is around 3mb. Would be way less directly going from Mp4 to WebM. WebM is not that new anymore so people should use that. It was made to replace gifs.
So please everyone do not use gifs anymore if you can. Let gifs finally die.

There are some recorders that do webm directly though I see.
You can configure ShareX to record a lossy video, or encode the video right after you record it.
bitrate = target size / duration, so you can approximate how long your video can be whilst falling under 8MB.
There’s also the more advanced way of doing it which is to use the actions feature. It automatically execute a command to encode the video using ffmpeg.
Auto Play and Auto Loop is a very nice feature for gifs
Captura can do webm
- After installation, open Captura Screen Recorder on PC.
- Then, make sure you have FFmpeg installed on your PC.
- Expand the FFmpeg dropdown arrow and select WebM Vp8 or WebM Vp9 from the list.
- Go to Video source and choose what to record.
- Click the Record button in the upper left corner to start recording.
Choose the portable version is said in the comments.
Gusguez forget gifs, Shayuki is right. Webm is the shit.
Chromium based browers don’t allow auto play for non muted videos (which you would need to fix for yourself), but you can just loop with them by right clicking.
Gifs are just an unneeded waste of space.
Some posts on here have gifs with a combined size of over 50mb which… is an episode of a series (24 minutes) in high quality converted to webm. Just saying what kind of difference we are talking here.
Webm can be exported as well with OBS just change Gif to Webm on my step to step, OBS is very accessible and a standard in terms of captures and completely free.
Here is the webm output :
But as I said I really like the Auto Play and Auto Loop feature of the gif…
Captura to Webm V9 seems fine and simple enough to me. I will stick with that.
+1 on Captura. Easy to use, good results.
Doing this will do it. Will keep the files under 8mb, if you recording isn’t too long.
Feel like I need to developp that point a bit, some people in here are just turned in the community side wich is very admirable, and some others may want just to make business wich is not a bad thing talent and work deserve rewards, and I feel like in the actual state of the forum Gifs are a great way to “Art direct” your posts and such little things could make a difference don’t you think ?
No. Cause most of the time gifs look like shit and they distract me with the auto play thing (especially when there are a lot of them in a post, will immediately skip that part). Not to mention that posts with gifs take longer to load. The only good thing about them is the loop preview outside the posts if it was set up correctly, but even that can be done with WebM and even Mp4.
Result with Captura. 20 seconds of recording, good quality, used Webm V9.
I will use this from now on.
I am working on a tutorial on how create this videos as well as gifs with and without overlay. The old tutorial I did is outdated.
This post is the one that I’ve tried to make the most attractive.

It’s probably really heavy with the gifs and all but is my top seller yet.
So maybe it’s just a coincidence but…

I think a differentiation in “preview” or “sample” would be beneficial.
I think a “preview”, which I’m defining like other posters here as “the video, simulator bar, and a view of that moments script points”, should be mandatory. I use OBS and ezgif like @Midevil mentioned, and you can see any of my posts for the results. Like others have said, compared to scripting, making these previews take very, very little work and imo they make such a difference in post quality and SEO, since you’re more likely to notice a gif of some sweet pussy-plapping than just a nice pic of the models face, lol. (In terms of posts being viewed on the front page I’d give a pass to posts like user Script Indexes or VR scenes with title cards, those make more sense) Maybe if we had a unified How-To thread it could be useful to users?
On the other hand, I think a “sample”, which I define as “section of the final script no less than 20 seconds”, should be encouraged but not necessary. Ymmv obviously, but I can tell a good script with less than 20 seconds of points. Possibly more necessary to have a sample for scenes longer than 30 minutes or a script price larger than $4USD
I think previews should be mandatory on both individual script and Patreon script posts, but since many Patreon accounts do a lot of 30sec-2min animations, samples might not be optimal. HOWEVER I have seen some users fix this issue already, by including their most recent free script, which I think would be an acceptable pass.
Anything to make our favorite cum-munity better,

Good point, I will change OP to distinguish between “preview” and “sample”.
I think any script posting rule should be simple and easy to remember with as few exceptions as possible but maybe this requirement should only apply to paid scripts longer than 2 mins?
