I’ve been using this to visually demonstrate features in pull requests. Combined with Gifski for gifs, it’s really nice.

Gitlab and GitHub both let you upload videos (and probably more). I still use ffmpeg to convert .mov to .mp4 to get a better file size. But either run circles around the quality and size of .gif

do they show them inline and play automatically?

the thing I love about gifs is that they play automatically so as soon as you open the issue you are seeing the animation of what the problem is.

I'm usually committing visual changes for reviewers without easy access to the environment, so I mark up the screenshots in my PRs. It's great

I used to use Kap for that to convert video to gif afterwards, but this just gives me one less app to use!

    brew uninstall kap

If only it grabbed the audio too. Would have been a lifesaver. All the apps that do this (that I found) are cr*p or super pricey.

Quicktime Player has audio in the grab

I feel like the screengrab ui also has it too

Oh that’s cool! I always use QuickTime Player for that, something in the screenshot UI makes more sense
