Gif support

[FoxPride]

Greetings, @sskodje!

Is it possible to add gif container support so we can take screenshots directly into gif?

I found this library but got stuck with converting directx image.

I'll put it in the backlog as a feature request, but for now i have to feature freeze for next release, it was a lot more work than anticipated. Can i ask what your use case is? GIF does not work very well for high-resolution content, it can easily run in the hundreds of megabytes for a short clip.

Oh that's sad. Sometimes I don't need whole video so I decided to check if it's possible to create gifs and use it for short duration.

Maybe it's better to use apng or webp then?

You can also record as slideshow and stich the .png or .jpg images into a GIF using GifBitmapEncoder or something like that, you don't need to fiddle with directx.

Yeah. It was my first guess and it works but I thought about better solution. I'll stick with slideshow option then, thanks a lot for great library!
