GIF file size #32

I like to record in GIF, since that's what Github issues/comments support and it autoplays in most browsers. Github has a requirement that these files be < 10MB.

I used to use Peek, but it just does not work since I updated to 22.04. It would record GIFs and they'd be reasonable in size (1 minute of gif < 10MB, as long as you're not doing anything crazy). I typically set the Framerate to 10

Unfortunately when I go to record GIFs with Blue Recorder, even just 5 seconds or so end up being 70MB+. Framerate is set to 10, same screen area size as I usually do, etc.

I know part of the simplicity of this app is that it doesn't provide any config, and you just go with the defaults. But I am wondering if the default compression for GIFs needs to be tweaked.

Thanks!

I think that issue because of resolution, I will add option to lower the output resolution
