linux终端录像机,Bashcaster是一个真正简单的Linux屏幕录像机

Bashcaster

Bashcaster is a simple script that uses ffmpeg to record screencasts to videos or GIFs. It can record the whole screen or a window. It can optionally optimize GIFs with gifsicle.

Installation

Put bashcaster.sh wherever you want.

Requirements

Bashcaster only works on X-based GUIs. It should work on any Linux distro, and all common ones should have these tools available for installation:

ffmpeg does all the work behind the scenes.

xprop and xwininfo are used to retrieve screen and window dimensions.

yad shows the stop-icon tray notification and confirmation dialogs.

slop is used when available to select rectangles, otherwise a fallback method is used.

gifsicle optionally optimizes GIFs.

Examples

Record a window to a GIF:

bashcaster --window output.gif

Record a window to a GIF at 15 frames per second, with the mouse cursor, optimize it, and don’t show confirmation prompts:

bashcaster -coy --window -f 15 output.gif

Record the whole screen to an MKV at 60 fps immediately, without confirmation:

bashcaster -f 60 -y output.mkv

FFmpeg does all the work.
