Record-gif

A lame GUI for byzanz, improved the user experience (mouse-selectable area, record progress bar, replay-able recording).

Features

• recording automation ;
• set recording duration ;
• set save_as destination ;
• select –with the mouse– the area to record ;
• create a script to replay recording (cf. $HOME/.record.again).

Requirements

• byzanz (probably in your repo) ;
• xrectsel is installed by the script.

Install

curl --location https://git.io/record-gif.sh | bash -

Usage

Record

record-gif.sh 10 ~/preview.gif

This will record for 10s, and save GIF in ~/preview.gif. If the file exists it's overwritten.

Record again

You know cause the first time always fails, I save the command from last session that completed to record easily record again:

~/.record.again

This will record, after 3s delay as always, with the same duration, destination and area.

Progress bar

It's a self made script, the code is available on my repo edouard-lopez/progress-bar.sh so you can use it in others cases.
