Giffy Last Recording

Convert the last .mov recording from the configured directory to gif. No arguments, no fuss.

I couldn't settle on a good gif capture software. So here's my quick hack to get the built in .mov screen recording feature to produce .gif files quickly.

Requirements

  • ffmpeg

Configuration

  • rec_dir: The directory in which the recording will be taken from. 
  • ffmpeg_path: Path to ffmpeg

Note: It is important to enter the full paths for both variables. For example, ~/Desktop is incorrect. Instead, use something like /Users/akash/Desktop.
