gifcast
=======
*gifcast* is a web page that converts
[asciinema](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema) casts to animated GIFs.
The code runs fully in the browser. That is, there are no server-side calls
to process the cast and/or convert to animated GIF. The implementation is in
JavaScript.
How To Use
----------
*gifcast* expects the asciinema cast to have a `.cast` extension. See below for
instructions on recording an asciinema cast.
To convert an asciinema cast to an animated GIF, navigate to index.html, load
the cast, configure options, and click *Render*.
*gifcast* is available at
.
### Recording a Cast
Recording requires the `asciinema` program, which runs independently of *gifcast*.
To record an asciinema cast, launch a new recording for your session, and terminate
the session with `Ctrl-D`.
```sh
$ asciinema rec PATH/FILENAME.cast
```
Example
The animated GIF below was generated with *gifcast*.
