Record GIFs
-
I know there is R for record but it would be epic if it could save it as GIF.
That way we could share our stuff via GIF images on like imgur as I did here. Was a bit of a process to do that though.

GIF encoding is a bit complicated, because it is somewhat easy to create enormously sized files, and there are only a few tools out there that optimize GIFs really well, for example, ImageMagick. I speak from experience because even with the most advanced quantization algorithms, GIFs produced by my program can still be compressed about 50% by imagemagick. Now, what's the point in copying imagemagick's source if you can just download is separately? -

It's really, and I mean really really easy to make either ImageMagick or ffmpeg produce a GIF for you. Like, one line in a command prompt. It looks something likeffmpeg -i *.png out.webm
.
In ffmpeg's case, you'd probably be better off making a WebM anyway, because of the tremendously better size and quality ratio. -
