GifCam v7.0

An easy and fun animated gif making app.

Compatible With Windows 11,10,8,7,Vista,XP.

GifCam has a nice idea where the app works like a camera that stays on top of all windows so you can move it and resize it to record your desired area.






When you’re ready, click “Rec” to start recording or click “Frame” to record a single frame.

GifCam is practical

While recording whenever GifCam finds the previous frame is same as the new recorded one it automatically adds delays (milliseconds the frame stays on screen) instead of adding a new frame and increasing gif size.






Add to this GifCam doesn’t draw the whole frame it draws greenscreen (transparent pixels) by comparing the alternately frames and just draw the different pixels, that saves a lot of kilobytes.









Editing

GifCam comes with simple and powerful frames editing,
To delete frames/add or remove delays, click on “Edit” button then right click on the frame you want to edit :






Saving

When you done recording and editing,
you can save your gif in 5 color reduction formats.






*Windows XP doesn’t support “split button” natively so right click on the save button to get the save menu.

GifCam can be used in many creative ways like:

creating an animated painting using MS Paint (264 frames just 17.4 KB !!)






or delivering an animated message in notepad (123 frames just 13.4 KB !!)






or creating a retro gif (monochrome color redaction) from YouTube video (41 frames 219 KB)






History of changes from oldest to newest:

Version 2.0

updated 3/June/2013













Add text : with Add text you can write some text in one line or more, set the frames range, position the text , align it left/center/right , add shadow and change the font with the native Windows font dialog.







Two more Frame rate options for more smooth gif:
10 FPS(0.1 second delay) the default.
16 FPS(0.06 second delay) minimum accepted delay in all major browsers.
33 FPS(0.03 second delay) minimum accepted delay in modern browsers, notice that some browsers doesn’t accept 0.03 delay between frames and round it to 10 FPS(0.1 second delay).
Open: open a gif file as you are the one who record it, so you can continue record , edit the frames and the delays, or save it to other color redaction format.
A new way to adjust frames delay: By dragging the delay label (each pixel = 0.01 second)
Shift + dragging will add/remove delays to/from all frames (0.03 second is the minimum delay).







Disable GreenScreen: Shift + Save Button(or any save redaction option).
Capture cursor: useful for demonstrating the mouse interaction.







Nearest: Nearest Uses the (nearest color matching algorithm) which produce a less size gif (this depends on how nearest the colors are).
Full Screen: GifCam ignores recording area and capture the Full Screen.
Recording different frames dimensions (resize while recording).
One Gigabyte Memory usage limit: to prevent slowing down the system.
Getting the recording area dimensions while resizing the app.
Other bugs fixes and tweaks.


Version 3.0

updated 3/december/2013

Version 3.0 comes with five Sweet features and some minor fixes:






Resize: anti-aliasing resize frames by percentage.







Yoyo: adds reverse frames.






Draw Green Screen: with this feature you can create part moving part still gif “cinemagraph” (press shift to draw on one frame).







Preview: preview with size.






Export To AVI: export your record to uncompressed video.


Version 3.1

updated 16/december/2013

One bug fixed: Yoyo feature adds 0 ms delay to all yoyo frames instead of adding yoyo delays.



Version 3.5

updated 10/april/2014

Custom color reduction: snapping color to nearest number.






GreenScreen Paint fill: paint greenscreen outside or inside a closed shape by pressing Ctrl+Click (to paint on one frame press Shift+Ctrl+Click ).






Mouse wheel support: you can use mouse wheel to scroll in Edit window, it is a little feature but it makes a lot of difference :)


Version 4.0

updated 12/July/2014

version 4.0 comes with the three most requested features:

Change green-screen color: To prevent conflict between recorded colors and green-screen color.






Keyboard Inputs: GifCam has only a mouse-centric interface with Keyboard Inputs window you can type some values (delay, resize and delete from to).







Option to store frames on hard Disk instead of memory: Shift + New will save recorded frames in Temporary folder:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\GifCamTemporaryFrames


Version 4.5

updated 10/October/2014

Crop: with the classic nostalgic “Marching ants” selection effect.






Hue And Saturation: Because saturation and shading of two colors generate “good quality looking” gif.







Other Fixes and Changes:

-Fixing double extension “gif.gif” file name problem.
-Renaming “yoyo” option name to “add reverse frames” clearer function name.
-Removing “Add 0.1 Sec Delay” and “Remove 0.1 Sec Delay” options because the right click edit menu is getting bigger and adding delay can be done more practically by dragging delay label or from “keyboard input” window.
-Fixing dragging delay stops.
-Centering all windows to main GifCam window.
-Fixing power of 10 gif size in preview window.


Version 5.0

updated 27/May/2015

Customization:






Customization Window lets you save and customize:
– Three FPS options that appears on the “Rec” split button menu.
– Option for storing temporary frame on hard disk or memory.
– Customization GifCam memory usage limit (default is 1 GB).
– Setting GifCam window size.
– Option for always capturing mouse cursor.

Keep in mind :
– Higher fps means bigger gif file size.
– Using memory option is faster and more performance than using hard disk option.
– When increasing memory usage limit, make sure you have enough memory to use, if you haven’t your system may slow dawn and may crush.
– And finally it is recommended to use the default settings.

Profile:






Profile window present frames size with bar chart and gives profile info of each frame:
the size of the frame in bytes, number of colors, and percentage of green screen.
Profile window is resizable, resize it for bigger bar chart.

Other fixes and changes:

– Drawing green screen and resizing frames are working well together now.
– Fixing the gif file size in the preview window.
– When saving, “Gif.gif” is the default file name.


Version 5.1

updated 1/October/2015

Supporting high dpi display.



27/January/2016

vclipiconI started a separate project VClip, has the same idea of GifCam but the output is video+loopback audio (speaker sound)



Version 5.5

23/March/2018

I apologize for the “too late update”, and I hope you like the new features :)

Automatically detect and set transparent/greenscreen color.
An option for saving “setting.ini” in the same gifcam directory.
GifCam 5.5 can access/use 4GB address space on 64 bit machines.
fixing “recording outside area” & “black border” for some high screen resolution and scaled displays.
Supporting dropping gif file on the main GifCam window to open it.


Version 6.5

26/November/2020

Draw Selection: a new feature for selection, draw a selection box around your desired area then GifCam will fit inside your selection box , you can hold Shift Key to start recording immediately.

Keyboard Shortcut: finally!

Improving “Export To Avi” play time by adding extra frames to let the constant avi fps macth with variable gif frames delays, also adding progress bar for avi encoding.

Version 7.0

2/June/2022

Quantize Windows Color Reduction: Reduce to an optimal 256 color Windows palette. It’s slow encoding, but in some cases it gives better color-matching than quantize.
Option for global CTRL+R shortcut key for rec/stop.
Option for saving last position: If this option is not checked, the gifcam app will open in the center of the desktop.
Auto-space between frames and delay labels regardless of system font size.
Fixed Windows XP right click menu.
Some other bug fixes.






Tips

Here are some tips for using GifCam:

When recording a video select high quality option that will generate a wider green screen and reduce gif size.
The less color the gif has the less gif size you get, try to balance the quality with the size.
“Delete even frames” is your tool to delete half the frames and keep the animation (reasonable).
May cause issues with Screen Scaling. Right click the exe, click properties, compatibility, Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
