Frametap
frametap is very early in development. Definitely do not use it just yet.
A cross platform screen capture library for MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
Frametap can:
- Deliver live frame information from your screen.
- Capture GIFs.
- Export frames as PNGs.
Why?
I wanted a screen capture app that lets me control the compression, quantization, dithering, etc. Surprisingly, there's nothing that can do all that on all three major OSes (well, except for FFMPEG – but that's a command line tool).
Hopefully, once the library is mature, I'll be able to use it to build such an app. While I'm still figuring thngs out, you can try LICECap — it's pretty solid!
Goals
- Cross platform
- MacOS: ScreenCaptureKit and CoreGraphics (AVFoundation at some point).
- Windows: Win32 API.
- Linux: Figure something out with Wayland / dbus.
- Fast. Drop as few frames as possible.
- Control over parameters such as FPS, Quantization algorithm, dithering, etc.
