Installing the prerequisites brew & ffmpeg The solution I found unfortunately can only be used with the terminal, but don’t be afraid, I’ll guide you through it. Some software solutions I tried are GIF Brewery, Cloud App, GifMaker, GifFox, Drop to GIF but all of them had some drawback, either the file size turned out to be to big or the quality was disappointing. I’ve tested many solutions to convert videos to gifs to receive nice quality with a relatively small size. The gif has the big advantage that you don’t need to think about a video-player for your blog or host each small video on a video hosting platform like YouTube.



A gif of a screen recording has proven itself to be a very practical solution to make tutorials easier to understand.
