Use a safe sauce

Here is the original redditor's post on GifCam. I just want you to beware that there are many malicious fakes. This one is the real one, and they have provided many useful updates http://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/

Improves gif making by 1000%. I love the simplistic and easy to use interface. What a great program!

Guys, don't trust this. This software creates unnecessary files that carry the signature of dark comet. meaning this is a virus.

From Reddit: How come this app installed another application called something along the lines of "bahrainsoft.exe". etc. Safe???

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

They must have downloaded it from reddit, which was reported to have malware or another link instead of the real site linked by this post.

why using GIF when there is WebM now?

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

My only Suggestion is rearranging the Host webpage and putting the download link near the top, or easier to see.

There are good reasons so that *.exe files are compressed before being sent around,being the main,reducing the chance of being infected.

Would love to see an easier tutorial. I've used it but always ended up with huge file sizes

11 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 4

Record in 10fps, don't make huge gifs. You can also remove extra frames and optimize gifs with Photoshop/GIMP to save space.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well, there are 2 things to consider: the amount of images and the size of the images. Use every 2nd or 4th frame, rescale size. Done! :)

As a GIMP user, don't spend too long fighting with it. For one, the Text tool is almost a joke and applying to multiple layers is a pain.

11 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

You just don't know how to properly gimp yet is all. Gimp is pretty powerful for free.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

yeah I saw a Gimp tutorial to add text and takes 10x more time

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's okay-ish for basic text, but the quirks can get you. I prefer Inkscape.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

http://registry.gimp.org/node/26501 should help you out some.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Noice. I should try to write a text-outline script (I can't believe one doesn't exist yet).

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The Text tool is actually quite easy to use, and applying to multiple layers is as easy as copy-move-merge, copy-move-merge.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

1c. Some dumbness I can't remember well, about text flow when resizing the text box.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I agree with you on layers, but the text tool to me is useless, unless I'm missing something REALLY obvious. I do that sometimes 1/2

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

2/2 It probably doesn't help that I've only been using linux/gimp for about 8 mos

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's not any more difficult than photoshop to add text Adding effects is convoluted but there are scripts you can install to streamline that

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I need those scripts, then. I have no problem adding text, it's just so limited as is.

1a. The font picker is poor (no way to type the font name). 1b. The in-place editor sucks. 2. Got a link for a fellow masochist?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Of course you can type the font name in:

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I type the font name in all the time. I don't know what version you use but it works in ver. 2.8.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

My memory is fuzzy, but I sure have time every time I have to use it. To be fair, I suspect there are very few active developers.
