This was created for me to use during game jams, you may find it useful, enjoy!

usage

capture.py [directory]

Run capture.py with a directory when you want to record your screen. Ctrl-C when you want to stop.

Leave the captured images in the directory and capture.py will pick up where it left off.

You can have multiple capture sessions in different directories.

making a movie

Run encode.sh and pass in the directory of images to combine them into a .mov video file using ffmpeg.

requirements

  • OSX
  • ffmpeg for encoding

Using Homebrew? it's just

brew install ffmpeg
