Record A GIF Or Prepare A Short Clip

Make An Animated GIF Directly

1. Choose the area needed for a short demonstration. Keep motion focused and text readable.
2. Select Animated GIF on the Record page. GIF does not include sound; the GIF path is capped at 30 fps.
3. Start recording, demonstrate the action, then click Stop & save.
4. Open the result in Recordings and check its loop and file size before sharing it.

Editing An Existing Recording

The current main dashboard does not have the old application’s draggable trim timeline or a dedicated existing-video-to-GIF export control. Direct GIF recording creates a new capture. If you need to trim an existing MP4, use a suitable editing workflow, preserve the original and save a separate result.

For long or detailed captures, MP4 is usually a more practical starting point than a large animated loop. See the current output choices and storage tips.
