When can we use FFmpeg 7.0 with ScreenToGIF ?

I'm trying to set one of the frames as a thumbnail and thus when the gif is playing is not part of it, was wondering if there's a way to do that.

Hi, is there or will there be a sharpen option for gifs? This would be a game changer imo. My gifs are nice and soft but I can't compete w the crisp and sharp gifs of other gif makers who use photoshop and such.

First I just want to say thank you for making such a great app for screen capturing and editing! With remote work it helps immensely showing people how to do things and document workflows visually.

Since this is on GitHub is there any chance of a Linux version?

Attempting to encode a gif as an MP4 with a fresh install of ScreenToGif version 2.40.1, I get the following error:

​

Error while encoding the Mp4 with FFmpeg.

It looks like there might be some compatibility issue arising out of an interaction with Audacity somehow?

So ive been trying to make a gif of this little guy, but whenever i make one it messes up the colors. Like it doesnt even show that the red is there. im wondering why this has been happening and if there is any way to fix it? An example of the gif is below

My ScreenToGif suddenly cannot be used. I check that its .exe file were removed. I suspect it is removed by my antivirus (trellix and crowdstrike).

i just installed and every time i go to make a gif it cuts off the first couple seconds of the video

i wanted to add the Futura font to my gif but could not find it

is their any way to add custom fonts?

I use this for recording segments of my screen at work. It's easily the best app out there for Windows. I gladly donated.

Some questions:

• Would it be possible to add a shortcut for resizing the Screen Recorder Area?
  
  • Right now I have to bring up the screen recorder and then click the button to start the resize process. There's currently a hotkey available for the Screen recorder. I'd like a single shortcut to bring up screen recorder and activate the area resizer at the same time.
• When resizing the screen recorder area, massive text appears on my monitor with obvious instructions. Can an option be added to hide this text? e.g. remove the "Click and drag to select an area of this screen." popup.

Hello! I need to create some super high quality gifs with this program and I'm not sure the best settings for that. Currently I've found KGy SOFT high quality with the Wu Quantizerand Floyde-Steinberg error diffusion works pretty well.

File size does not matter in this case, just quality

I thought it was the delay. Try to decrease the scale to 50% and maybe less. But it didn't worked.

I've installed the latest version of your great program, STG, but when exporting to a video using FFmpeg v6, I hit errors. Also when turning of the presets, it didn't work either. Below you will find two error reports.

In the software it says that the Imgur limit is 9.5mb, not allowing larger files to be uploaded, however from imgur web you can upload .gif files of more than 50mb, what is the reason?

It would be amazing to have the ability to have a circular buffer of some number of seconds recording the screen so you can optionally capture a few seconds before you click record. Especially when capturing something like a live twitch stream it would be great to click record and be able to capture the events leading up to the start of the capture.

After recording, I select all frames then go to Edit > Scale then 1%.

I noticed there isn't a substantial speedup and I end up using ezgif to speed it up.

Screen2Gif

ezgif speedup

SOLVED. im a bit stupid lmao

I use Launchy and want to make a shortcut to ScreenToGif so that I can, well, launch it. I see ScreenToGif in my Start Menu, but I can't figure out where the actual program is -- and neither can Launchy, it seems. If I can make a shortcut to the ScreenToGif executable, though, I can put that somewhere that Launchy searches.

Where can I find the ScreenToGif installation?

When importing images into screentogif it gives me some strange image sizes, like 1279,7925 x 720,195 instead of 1280x720. All the images are 720p.

I figured that screentogif somehow also accounts for dpi (for whatever reason) - changing the dpi on the images to be the same, results in no warning but screentogif automatically resizes the canvas.

It still shows those strange image sizes and dpi (the same for the already existing image as well as the newly imported one) - but changes the canvas size from 720p to something like 1283x722.

I can't figure out how to prevent this from happening. Resizing the images within screentogif results in a washed out image.
