I also find it to be a little bit unpoliished around the edges (the icon especially needs some work), but overall it is an excellent piece of software that makes recording an animated gif on Linux a breeze - it's streets ahead of any other competing projects. The other issue is that it took me a little while to work out how to record a custom area - this is done by the "Transparent Window Interior" option under "Area to be recorded". It is written in bash, which makes it perfectly suited for usage on both Mac and Linux system, but I don't think that Windows is supported as of the time of posting. It also allows you to modify the intermediate png files before the final product is stitched together, too, allowing for precise edits to make the resulting gif loop perfectly. It integrates nicely with the Unity desktop (I haven't tried others yet), which makes it feel more intuitive and makes it easer to use. Silentcast's dialogs stay in front of everything else that you have open, so you don't need to worry about loosing the window somewhere along the line. It uses png files to store frames, so it isn't suitable for recording at a high fps or for very long, but it is still brilliant for recording short clips for your blog or to accopany a bug report. ![]() Silentcast is a very versatile screen recording application that outputs either a set of png images, an animated gif, or 2 different types of video.

Then run command to add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream The recorder somehow refuses to work with built-in pipewire, but the updated package from this Ubuntu PPA will make it work!ġ.) Firstly, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. There are properly installed and enabled in Ubuntu 21.10 out-of-the-box (at least in my case). Kooha requires pipewire server, xdg-desktop-portal, and WebRTC (Firefox). Next, add the flathub repository by running command in terminal: flatpak remote-add -if-not-exists flathub Īfter that, run the command below in terminal to install the screencast app: flatpak install flathub io. Press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal, then run command: sudo apt install flatpak So you have to first make sure he flatpak daemon is installed.
