Hmm that really looks good. I uploaded a gif to each of my paid scripts, check my portfolio, but they do look potato a bit. Enough for quality check but will check out ShareX Shutterencoder combo for future releases. What player is that? Stats look like OFS but how do you hide heatmap and other bars?
OFS. I just kept them out of the frame.
Done how?
Screen recording of a part of the screen instead of full screen I assume.
Ah ok you can move around the those bars and out of the recording.
Tried the other tools recommended here.
ShareX:
Pretty good tool, easy to use. Easy to just record a certain part of the monitor. Downside is the bigger file size. Yes, you can compress it. But this requiring another tool is not practical for the average user.
OBS:
Very not user friendly. Way too many stuff you need to set up first. Not at all practical for the average user.
We need something that is easy to use. Open the tool â choose area you want to record â record â strop recording â uploading â done. Like this. Without any other annoyance in between. While I see some users donât mind using different (more complicated) tools and use another tool to compress the file, the average user doesnât want to do it or doesnât know how to do it.
I would consider myself an advance user, but even I donât want to go through the hassle of using the more complicated way. While the quality of this might not be the best and could certainly be better, itâs easy to use, doesnât require any other compression method and can be uploaded right away and it does the job.
~1 minute of recording - 7.92MB - 726p
I think itâs enough to showcase certain parts of the script and video. What you posted @Falafel looks of course way better, but itâs a bit of hassle to make for the average user.
I thought OBS would be fine with it being the primary tool for that and streaming for years. Setup takes a minute, but guess itâs too complicated still for newbies. Hm well without resizing people on Windows can also use Windows+ALT+R and just use the Windows record function and then just convert them to webM through one of the Million online services available. I think someone that also releases paid scripts should know a bit about how to do those things. Itâs the absolute minimum lol. You canât just setup OFS, prepare a source file and script correctly and then not know how to make a simple WebM/GIF.
For OFS there is also the noob friendly version StreamLabs.
Hey everyone,
what do you think of my way displaying the previews ?
What I do is I record a lot of different parts of the script in full screen with OBS,
and on after effects I create a 260x260 composition and resize and position the outputs to fit in there.
If I resize and position one I just replace the video source and position and scale will be exactly the same for the next one. To export I use the plugin Gifgun wich is awesome in terms of optimisation, turns out I can export 20sec in one gif ( in 12.5fps ) under the 8mb limit in great picture quality.
But other than that you can just export an H264 and use Photoshop to convert it in Gif with the âExport for the webâ settings. I prefer the gif than the videos cause it doesnât need a click on the play button.
Edit : Just red @Slibowitz last post so sorry itâs probably a little bit of an advanced method to produce the previews but one thing to retain I think is the framerate is essentiel for the weight of a gif and I think 12.5fps is really enough for a preview, hope I helped a bit

Just use ScreenToGif. Been using it for the past few years. Free, relatively easy to use.

Looks really good and the quality of the gifs is pretty good too and shows everything very well. As you said, that method is probably nothing for the average user, since it requires a lot of steps.
Tried it. Maybe I did something wrong and didnât set it up correctly, but I end with ~100MB gifs.
Non gif looks better for sure but I am with Slibo that I would like an easy one step method.
You have to either adjust the recording frame rate (like 15 fps) or reduce the resolution size.
Can also edit the sample size
As an example, I made all the Gifs in this topic using it
Whatever I do, I end up with 100mb gifs. Your gifs you made are also ~100mb, when downloading them. So uploaded them somewhere I guess?
Not in my case when I download his gifs
Right, I probably switched up the files with the gifs I created. Sorry!
Captera mobile version just needs to be pointed at ffmeg/bin. Not bloated
Here is a video i quickly made of hotgirl at least it sounds like hotgirl. This is under 8mb mp4
and the same mp4 as a webm (not even 1mb)
wow ok, where webm is a file format? What do you record it with?
Canât find anything on Google about that. You may have link?
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
