vhs VS terminalizer

I'm a huge fan of charmbracelet's vhs:

I have a gitlab CI job to update my demo .gif's every time I update my application; always ensures that things are up-to-date and provides gif/video recording that I've ran specific commands (perfect for auditors!)

I was looking at the code, and it seems like you could put a low value for this and it would do what you want.

I did not try it though

I used Charm VHS to generate the last gif you saw. Very cool tool that allows you create & easily edit CLI-related demos.

I’m not fully understanding what you are searching for, but take a look at https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs. You can script shell commands and record them.

Share it on relevant subreddits and make a gif out how to use it with https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs

Projects with gifs on reddit get more attention.

It's vhs in case you are curious

The animations are GIFs generated by a really awesome project called vhs (https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs). I usually went with 'gg' but the recommended 'G' feels much cleaner for me.

This is used by VHS (https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs) to create GIF demos of CLIs/TUIs.

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.
