CinemaGIF Live

CinemaGIF Live is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you generate animated GIF files by capturing a user-defined region of the screen.

The tool integrates all dedicated parameters into a single panel, so tweaking them proves to be an easy task.

You can make use of a rectangle tool in order to select the desktop area that you want to capture. You may resize the rectangle to fit the desired position and switch to a full screen mode.

CinemaGIF Live offers support for a preview panel, so you can easily check out all captured snapshots. What’s more, you are allowed to resize the photo, as well as specify the delay time before taking screenshots.

Other notable features worth being mentioned give you the possibility to embed text on the upper, lower, and middle part of the picture, alter the text in terms of font, font style, size, and color, skip a user-defined number of frames, adjust the frame rate, as well as change the color.

By default, the tool saves the GIF animations to a preset location from your computer. You cannot specify the saving directory but you are allowed to open it directly from the main window.

Tests have shown that CinemaGIF Live carries out a task pretty quickly and provides good image quality. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, CinemaGIF Live comes packed with several handy features in order to help you capture any region of the screen directly into an animated GIF.
