LICEcap can capture an area of your desktop and save it directly to .GIF (for viewing in web browsers, etc) or .LCF.
In addition to .GIF, LICEcap supports its own native lossless .LCF file format, which allows for higher compression ratios than .GIF, higher quality (more than 256 colors per frame), and more accurate timestamping.
When you choose to record to .LCF, you can later convert your file to .GIF (via the integrated command line tool), or play the .LCF files within REAPER.
Here are some key features of "LICEcap":
· Record directly to .GIF or .LCF.
· Move the screen capture frame while recording.
· Pause and restart recording, with optional inserted text messages.
· Global hotkey (shift+space) to toggle pausing while recording
· Adjustable maximum recording framerate, to allow throttling CPU usage.
· Basic title frame, with or without text.
· Record mouse button presses.
· Display elapsed time in the recording.
Requirements:
· A reasonably fast CPU
· A healthy amount of RAM (1GB+, especially when encoding to LCF)
