Xbox Game Bar is a native Windows application that allows users to record their full screen by simply pressing the key binding: Win + Alt + R, for both starting and stopping the recording. A minimalistic recording widget is displayed while recording (Figure 1.5.2), yet removed from the final recording when played in the app’s gallery (Figure 1.5.3). Note that the gallery is accessed through the Xbox Game Bar menu (launched via Win + G), which includes a host of various options, settings, and metrics. To trim the recording, Xbox Game Bar’s interface has the user click through its gallery window, File Explorer, the Movies and TV app, and the Photos app before trimming functionality can be accessed (Figure 1.5.4).

ScreenToGIF is a free application that allows users to record a section of their screen. The launch menu (Figure 1.5.5) features a minimalistic set of options, and the recording interface (Figure 1.5.6) allows the user to drag and modify the bounding box around the desired content prior to recording. Note that there was a noticeable delay in the time from stopping the recording to opening the editing window as compared to other applications. Also note the verbose set of functionalities and editing options available in ScreenToGIF’s editing window (Figure 1.5.7).

Snip and Sketch is a native Windows application that allows users to select sections of their screen to capture images of. While Snip and Sketch does not include recording functionality, we note this application because it captures the essence of simplicity and efficiency we hope to replicate in Video GIF Capture. Snip and Sketch’s intuitive interface (Figure 1.5.11) is quickly launched via the OS level key binding: Win + Shift + S. By selecting each option, the user easily becomes familiar with the range of applications. Once a section is captured, the image is immediately copied to the clipboard for usage in other applications. Snip and Sketch’s typical interaction time only takes a matter of seconds.
