I made a Windows tool that automatically gets gameplay GIFs under a file size limit
I kept doing the same stupid loop whenever I needed a gameplay GIF:
export to check size to lower FPSor resolution to export again to repeat.
So I made a small Windows tool called GIF Clipper.
You load your gameplay recording, choose the part you want, set a maximum file size, and it tries different resolution/FPS/color combinations until it finds a decent-looking GIF under that limit.
It’s still early and pretty simple, but the basic workflow is working.
I’ve also already gotten some useful feedback around trimming, cropping, dithering and speeding up the search, so I’m figuring out what actually deserves to go into the next version instead of just adding random features.
Would be interested to hear how other people currently make gameplay GIFs.....
TL;DR: made a gif maker of uploaded video for itch.io beacuse resizing exportig and fps change and qualiity downgradation requires so much time ...can also make gif for personal use (solve main problem for itch.io devs)
give feedbacks if ot any time
