why is it so hard to record a damn gif?

first licecap was my goto for years, but then it stopped working on newer versions of mac

then kap was my guy for a long time. great piece of software. but it has some bug, an unhandled promise or something, that has been preventing it from working for weeks now, so i'm on the hunt again.

so far, using this snippet:

ffmpeg -i in.mov -s 600x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=3 > out.gif

need to put it in a bash script, but putting it here for now so I don't lose it.

flow is this:

1. quicktime screen recording
2. edit video?
3. do the script

requirements

brew install ffmpeg gifsicle
