This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	-- Ask the user to select an app
	set theApp to choose file of type "app" default location (path to applications folder)

	-- Get the app name
	tell application "System Events"
	set theAppName to name of theApp
	if theAppName ends with ".app" then set theAppName to text 1 thru -5 of theAppName

	-- Determine whether the app is a package, and notify the user if it's not
	set isPackage to (package folder of theApp)

	# vi: ft=dosini
	[user]
	name = Pavan Kumar Sunkara
	email = pavan.sss1991@gmail.com
	username = pksunkara
	[core]
	editor = nvim
	whitespace = fix,-indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space,cr-at-eol
