Quick GIF Creator

by Mephobia


- Information -


This is a small, lightweight, and easy to use program that will allow you to take animated GIF images. Using this is just like using a screenshot program. You first select a recording region, then you use hotkeys to start and stop the recording. Alt + A and Alt + S, respectively. Enjoy the application, and leave feedback because I released the source and the bin!

Use your GIF creator to create a GIF of you using your GIF creator. GIFception.


* - ๖ۣۜMephobia - Feb 6, 2013

I updated it with a GIF, read above the gif too. Maybe someone can help.


* - Foursenal - Feb 6, 2013

WOW This is quite awesome! Hopefully a coder can help you to make it perfect! Also, add a loop after the GIF is done?


* - Cody8295 - Feb 6, 2013

I wish you'd post the source in a spoiler so I can see it without downloading. Too lazy.


Also I'm pretty sure the bug is in your screenCapture class, something to do with the BitBlt function..


* - Percocet - Feb 6, 2013

The only thing I would fix about it, would be to capture the frames at a faster rate. It seems a little laggy in my opinion.

Other than that, not too bad!


* - ๖ۣۜMephobia - Feb 6, 2013

Yeah. I may change the screen capture method. Maybe it will make it more smooth.


* - jeiceei - Feb 6, 2013

its awsome job dude but you should add reloop i think


* - TraptCode - Feb 7, 2013

Why are you closing your device context each call. If you are making multiple block transfers, you should do it all on one device context.


* - SkyRider2 - Feb 7, 2013

Very buggy, needs abit of work.. other than that.. good job :)


* - GammaRay - Feb 7, 2013

Very buggy. I agree. Can't complete a recording without errors popping up. Was really excited. :(

Hope you can fix it because it looks stunning and simple :)


* - OneTXxL - Feb 7, 2013

7+meg for such a crap gif?

not being mean, but i will stick to camtasia.


* - ๖ۣۜEatos - Feb 7, 2013

HQ as always! Thanks for sharing it with us man!


* - Shoсkwave - Feb 7, 2013

Work on the size of the gifs, and also make a box flash whilst recording (like camtasia)
