Here are the script we speack at hackfest I use to record the gifs on 0.92 release page: Need beep and byzanz-record

use as : ./recordToGif.sh 60 /path/to/file.gif where 60 is 60 seconds select the window to record...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

# Delay before starting DELAY=3

# Sound notification to let one know when recording is about to start (and ends) beep() { /usr/bin/beep }

# Duration and output file if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then D="--duration=$@" else echo Default recording duration 10s to /tmp/recorded.gif D="--duration=10 /tmp/recorded.gif" fi

XWININFO=$(xwininfo) read X < <(awk -F: '/Absolute upper-left X/{print $2}' <<< "$XWININFO") read Y < <(awk -F: '/Absolute upper-left Y/{print $2}' <<< "$XWININFO") read W < <(awk -F: '/Width/{print $2}' <<< "$XWININFO") read H < <(awk -F: '/Height/{print $2}' <<< "$XWININFO")

echo Delaying $DELAY seconds. After that, byzanz will start for (( i=$DELAY; i>0; --i )) ; do echo $i sleep 1 done echo ":::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::" beep byzanz-record --verbose --delay=0 --x=$X --y=$Y --width=$W --height=$H $D & read FULLDURATION FAKE <<<$(IFS=";"; echo $D) read FAKE DURATION <<<$(IFS="="; echo $FULLDURATION) for (( i=$DURATION; i>0; --i )) ; do if [ $i -ne $DURATION ]; then echo $i Segundos fi sleep 1 done beep
