# scap
A minimal (read "garbage") screen capture script based on scrot and ffmpeg. I made it for my own personal entertainment and it messes up any output format other than gifs if I recall correctly.
## Dependencies
- scrot
- ffmpeg
- bc
## Instal
### linux
```sh
sudo ./install
# or
doas ./install
```
## Usage
```sh
scap [duration in seconds] [output file name] [additional scrot arguments...]
```
Example:
```sh
scap 10 ~/test.gif -p -u
```
Output:
- a gif
- 10 seconds long
- `-p` : enables pointer capture for scrot
- `-u` : makes scrot track a specific window
## TODO
- [ ] improve framerate
- [ ] fix the awful mp4 output
