Screengif bash snippet

Add this to your .bash_profile or whatever you use.

# Running: gif demo.mov
# Outputs: demo.gif
gif() {
  name=$(echo "$1" | cut -f 1 -d '.')
  screengif -i "$1" -o "$name.gif" --fuzz 0
}

This allows you toget demo.gif by running:

$ gif demo.mov

Note: the --fuzz 0 option got me better quality for screencasts with gray background.

Screengif

Make sure you install screengif first.
