scap

A minimal (read "garbage") screen capture script based on scrot and ffmpeg. I made it for my own personal entertainment and it messes up any output format other than gifs if I recall correctly.

Dependencies

• scrot
• ffmpeg
• bc

Instal

linux

sudo ./install
# or
doas ./install

Usage

scap [duration in seconds] [output file name] [additional scrot arguments...]

Example:

scap 10 ~/test.gif -p -u

Output:

• a gif
• 10 seconds long
• -p : enables pointer capture for scrot
• -u : makes scrot track a specific window

TODO

• improve framerate
• fix the awful mp4 output
