Wow, the 4.8 update is seriously impressive! I've been wishing for a solid horizontal scrolling capture tool for ages this is going to make capturing wide dashboards and timelines so much easier.
Been a long time user of Cleanshot and it is honestly a lifesaver. These updates are awesome!
Chronicle (the presentation tool we are building) has horizontally scrollable pages so the horizontal scroll capture is going to be amazing.
Remove bg is also sick!
Any plans for being able to save a video as gif automatically?
Keep up the awesome work folks!

@mayuresh_patole Why not just "Record GIF"?
@chrismessina thats what I do today. Several reasons why recording a video then converting to gifs would be super useful for me:
GIF takes longer to process. So if I have to do a retake or trim it - it’s very time consuming. With videos I can trim it faster.
Often I want to convert a longer video (2-5 min) into shorter gif snippets (3-10 seconds). Currently I need to rerecord or as a hack I play the video then record the gif then wait. Takes a while.
I often go back to video recordings from my history and want them as gifs (say for emails or pasting into presentations). But if it’s not a gif in the first place I have to rerecord.
Hope that helps.

@mayuresh_patole Got it, makes sense. I typically record a video w/ Cleanshot and then convert the .mp4 to a GIF using @Gifski. That might be a speedier route to a solution for you?
Good job 🙌🏽, couuld there be an option to auto-stitch scroll captures into a single wide PNG but still allow section breaks if needed?

Huge fan. CleanShot is a perfect example of remarkable creators working tirelessly to create the best possible tool for a very specific (niche?) but actually very common workflow — love it all!
