Want to help make your own GIFs?
Use LICEcap

Good job! Sticky!

How do you make such fantastic gifs? I can certainly make quite a few for people for more advanced map making and quick fixes to what seems like hard tasks.

120 frames per second is the setting i use you might have your own preference.

Yes but how are you getting such small files?

You can adjust the program so that it record on the wanted area.
