asciinema VS terminalizer

It's not mine, it's asciinema, lol. I tried finding it, but fell short, look around here https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-server/tree/develop/assets/css.

I've used the script command and asciinema [1] before. Easy way to record steps without missing anything.

You're welcome! I just stumbled across another one that looks promising, too: https://asciinema.org/

Check out https://asciinema.org, a tool for recording terminal commands.

These days I reluctantly prefer embedding a static screenshot in my READMEs with a link to an asciinema animation. They're easy enough to record, and at least I'm not costing some poor sod who accidentally loaded my page $0.10 to download a giant GIF on mobile data.

I you'd like to know what it is like to use Podman, I've found those Asciinema snippets by Matthew Heon (Podman contributor) quite helpful: https://asciinema.org/~mheon

Maybe another alternative for inspiration: https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer

I love it because it gives you the option to record or to prepare your file... very easy and good results.

Seems abandoned? https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer

I'm using terminalizer (https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer), however it might be a bit hard to get running, it doesn't seem to be maintained.

Check out terminalizer - I think you can record your terminal, edit out all of the backspaces, adjust the speed, etc and turn it into a GIF.

Terminalizer!

I'm looking for a terminal session recorder that is able to capture ncurses program nicely and correctly. I have tried asciinema which didn't quite work, just as terminalizer didn't. I haven't been able to even install ttystudio.

GIF optimization is kind of a lost art. Even programs like Terminalizer, which ought to do better, still do a crappy job of GIF export. Pop the example GIF from their GitHub page open in GIMP and you'll see that they at least decimate the framerate pretty well, but the animation still includes lots of big, pointless updates. An optimized terminal recorder should be smart enough to produce optimal output in the first place: just produce a frame containing only the characters added since the last frame, or shadowing any characters removed.
