Gif brewery with pictures11/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Overlays now get a bit more TLC with the ability to add image overlays. It's a welcome addition, likely useful for anyone looking watermark images. Once it comes time to create the gif, Gif Brewery 3's seems a little zippier and has a more meaningful status bar. Gif Brewery now can to view each frame inside a gif in a frame view function which appears to be purely aesthetic. It's like peering into the potential of what GifBuilder offered in almost 20 years ago: the ability to set time delays on individual frames and add/delete individual frames. Since I'm not privy to the minds of the developers, I can only hope it allows a per-frame editing mode so that gifs can hang on individual frames and unnecessary ones removed (one of the most sorely missed features in Gif Brewery). The other tall ask I have is the ability to create transparent gifs. At this point, I use gifsicle to create a transparent gif from the command line which looks something like: gifsicle -U -disposal=previous -transparent="#ffffff" -O3 opaque.gif > transparent.gif It adds another step, and the optimization seems to go out the window once I've run my compiled gif through the gifscle. Is Gif Brewery 3 worth it? That depends, if you own GifBrewery 2.x, the differences are mostly locked up in the UX. ![]() GifBrewery 2.x had a habit of mild instability. Every now and again it'd crash, but infrequently. It's nice that Gif Brewery 3 hasn't exhibited any of this and the screen-capture-to-gif and video-capture-to-gif could be a killer feature for some users. That said, there's not a huge incentive to upgrade other than to stay current. At $10, it's really hard to come up with any good reason not to upgrade. That said, if you don't already own Gif Brewery 3, it's the best game in town.
