How does everyone make GIFs?

A lot of the game posts have these amazing animated GIFs of people’s games. What do people generally use to make these for Mac/PC?

just curious, thanks!

I use a program called ScreenToGif

I’ve been using GifCam but even though it looks like it would be great I find the usability leaves a bit to be desired. It works fine after you get used to it. (60 FPS capture just resulted in everything being twice the speed, the standard of 11 fps is obviously horrible and the file sizes are huge, though that’s not necessarily the programs fault I guess).

I used screentogif as well, it’s super easy to use

Any other game jams that have rating/ranking like LD?

While waiting around for the next LD to be announced, I’ve been looking around at other game jams. However none of the other jams I’ve found allow people to vote, rate, rank, and comment on the entries. That’s one of my favorite parts of LD, because it lets you get great feedback and get better. But it looks like others (like Global Game Jam) you just make a game and…that’s it.

Does anyone know of any other good game jams that do ratings/rankings/awards like LD does?

Cool, thanks, I hadn’t heard of them.
