| Animated GIFs are useful for documentating animations. Here’s how to make them: |
| |
| ## Capturing video of an Android device |
| |
| * This feature is available on KitKat and later. |
| * Make sure to launch the app using `flutter run --release` for faster performance. |
| * Start recording video by running this command on the command line: |
| |
| ```adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/recording.mp4``` |
| |
| * Interact with the app. When you are done you can terminate the recording with CTRL+c. |
| |
| * Pull the recording off the device and onto your local hard drive: |
| |
| ```adb pull /sdcard/recording.mp4 ~/Downloads/``` |
| |
| ## Capturing video of the iOS simulator |
| |
| * Move the iOS simulator above your other applications |
| * Launch the "QuickTime Player" app |
| * Select “New Screen Recording” from the File menu |
| * Draw a box around the Simulator and click "Start Recording" |
| * When you're finished, click on Stop Recording on the Menu Bar. |
| * If needed, trim your recording using "Trim" from the "Edit" menu. |
| * Save the recording |
| |
| ## Converting the recording to GIF |
| |
| * Go to http://ezgif.com/video-to-gif and upload the video. |
| * If further trimming is needed, select the start and end times for your GIF. |
| * Select an appropriately small size for the GIF (recommended: 320xAUTO). |
| * Select a high framerate for the GIF (the max is 20) for smoothest animation |
| * Convert to GIF and download the GIF file |
