ScreenSage ProExport GIF
ScreenSage Pro can export a project as an animated GIF. By default, the built-in GIF for Docs preset produces a looping GIF up to 800 pixels wide at 15 fps. In the interface, GIF is the GIF tab at the top of Export Settings (⌥⌘E), next to Video.
1. Trim the clip first
A GIF works for one small interaction, not a full tutorial. Trim the timeline to the action you want to show and the file gets much smaller.
2. Adjust GIF settings
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Width | Original, or up to 1280, 960, 800, 640, 480, 320 |
| Frame Rate | 10, 15, 20, 25 fps |
| Loop | On or off |
Height follows the project's aspect ratio. You can save your settings as your own GIF preset; see Export Presets and Recommended Settings.
GIFs have no sound. To make a smaller GIF, lower the width first, then the frame rate.
3. Export and share
Click Export. When it's done, drag the thumbnail straight into a chat window or document. In Export History, the GIF filter shows only GIFs; see Export Queue and History.
If you need sound or more detail, use Export Video instead.
