Steps for creating animated gif screen recordings in vscode:

  • install 'Chronicler' extension. It depends on ffmpeg, which can be automatically downloaded when starting the first recording
  • In windows, turn on the setting under additional mouse options to show animated circles at the mouse pointer when pressing the Ctrl button
  • hide:
    • status bar
    • explorer
    • panel
  • disable the gitlens extension, otherwise git information will be shown as inlay hints and when hovering over a symbol
  • adjust window size not to have blank areas in the editor
  • adjust font size to have a recording with readable characters
  • start recording by Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R and wait for the grace period before the recording begins (5 secs by default)
  • do what you want to show
  • stop recording pressing Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S
