May 13 2013 Published by under GifCam

I would like to share some of the finished features so far for the next version of GifCam , so feel free to comment like “it would be better if” or whatever comment you like :) .

Let me start with a screenshot:

so what we have new here:

Nearest

Nearest Uses the (nearest color matching algorithm) which produce a less size gif (this depends on how nearest the colors are) , it is nice to have this option, Here is a an example of quantize/nearest comparison.

Quantize without Nearest 538 Kilobyte

Quantize with Nearest 397 Kilobyte

Open

Open is a nice (I know I used nice alot but it is realy nice) feature, when you open a gif file GifCam reads its frames and delays then resize the recording area to match the opened gif dimension, It is just as you are the one who record it, so you can continue record , edit the frames, or save it to other color redaction format :)

Framerate

Two more Frame rate options for more smooth gif:

  • 10 FPS(0.1 second delay) the default.
  • 16 FPS(0.06  second delay) maximum accepted delay in all major browsers.
  • 33 FPS(0.03 second delay) maximum 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).

This feature is useful for demonstrating the mouse interaction:

LICEcap

LICEcap

Just yesterday I found this nice little app LICEcap which use the same idea of GifCam to create gif files, actually it is been there before GifCam(more than 2 years) that makes GifCam not an original idea app :(  , anyway I think it is not fair for me to compare GifCam vs LICEcap, I think people should decide which tools suit their needs, also LICEcap works both on Windows and Mac :) So what do you think windows users are going to replace GifCam with LICEcap? and Why?

Softpedia this is nice!!!

Apr 21 2013 Published by under GifCam

I received an email from Softpedia on 3/4/2013, It is about GifCam and the willing to list it on their site, I didn’t pay attention to their email, I thought it is ok they will link back to the app page, no problem, but I just discovered they did not, they took GifCam app, put it in their server and before you download it you have to go through three pages of advertisements.
so the final result:
6,074 download from Softpedia (till now). they took it down.
Softpedia is making money from my app.
I received ZERO support (till now) . I got some nice support thank you :)
Isn’t that nice :-)

This is bugs fixed and performance boost update (no new feature yet)
here is a list of changes:

  • Bug fixed that cause the gif sometimes looping back before playing all frames.
  • Saving is faster.
  • Save menu for Windows XP (Windows XP doesn’t support “split button” natively so right click on the save button to get the save menu).
  • GifCam 1.1 is 8 kilobytes less in size in case you want to save some KB in your hard disk :)

get GifCam 1.1
