Exporting as Gifs

output types

You can export your project as Gif using 5 different types of encoders:

Encoder: 2.0

output v2

It's the newest encoder available. It uses the Octree algorithm to reduce the number of colors to 256. It produces a noticeable color banding, so it's best suited for animations with less colors and no gradients. For example, a recording of simple page (such as GitHub) will output an acceptable gif.

Encoder: System

output types

This encoder uses a default palette, so the gif quality will be noisy, with lots of dither. You can control the looping of the gif.

Encoder: FFmpeg

output types

With this encoder, the configuration is set via text. The commands are passed to FFmpeg during the encoding. This is the default configuration (if you lost it):

-lavfi palettegen=stats_mode=diff[pal],[0:v][pal]paletteuse=new=1:diff_mode=rectangle

In order to export using this encoder, you'll need to download FFmpeg.

Encoder: Gifski

output types

Use the slider to change the quality of the output gif. The greater the value (slider more to the left), the better the final gif is.
