Software Update: ScreenToGif 2.24

Version 2.24 of ScreenToGif has been released. With this open source application, the actions on the screen or the images from the webcam can be recorded. The result can optionally be edited with the baked-in editor and then saved as an animated gif image or movie file. The program relies on .Net 4.8 and the download is therefore minimal. Also, it can be used without having to install it first. ScreenToGif is actively being developed and new versions appear regularly. The changelog for this release looks like this:

What’s new?

• Added the option to run the FFmpeg encoding with two-pass.
• [Installer] Added the option to install the shortcut to all users.
• [Installer] When installing, the UAC prompt will only appear if necessary (for example, when installing the shortcut to all users).
• Added the option to force the update to run with elevated privileges.
• Updated the default parameters for exporting with FFmpeg (click on the reset button to load the new ones).

Bug fixes:

• When trying to insert an image with a different DPI than the project, it would import it with the incorrect size.
• Added a warning when trying to import multiple images with different DPIs.
• The app could crash when rendering a character which had a broken glyph (while using the caption feature).
• The app was crashing when applying the ‘Reduce Frame Count’ while selecting the last frames.
• It was not allowed to add a preset with a name already in use in a preset from another video type.
• (Experimental) Added a workaround for the ‘Not enough quota…’ crash. It can be disabled on Options > Application.
