Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a GIF. Hence the name Gifcap...

Thanks, that solves the size problem for me!

You're welcome, maybe you won't demand features from a tool that's obviously not made for your needs. Hell, maybe you'll consider forking the project, renaming it and implementing the feature you seek instead of being passive-aggressive.

I really loathe GIF for screen recordings: they are huge, they look terrible due to the 8-bit color pallet and low frame rate (in a desperate attempt to make them less huge), encoding is slow (in my experience at least, probably no hwenc available?) and they are expensive to render. There’s hardly any reason to use GIF when you can use a video instead — Imgur did exactly that with their GIFV which is just an H.264 vi…
