1. Optimizing a Product Demo for GitHub
Technical WriterBackground
A technical writer needs to embed a 10-second screen recording of a new software feature into a GitHub README, but the original MP4 file is too large and autoplaying videos aren't ideal.
Problem
The GIF needs to be under 5MB to load quickly on GitHub while maintaining enough clarity to read the UI text.
How to use
Upload the MP4 screen recording, set the optimization level to 'Balanced', set the frame rate to 12 FPS, and set the output width to 800px.
Optimization Level: Balanced, FPS: 12, Width: 800, Dithering: BayerOutcome
A highly compressed, clear GIF under 4MB that autoplays smoothly in the GitHub repository documentation.
