Guids for creating content in to wiki / relese notes
In a spirit of having nice consistent release demos (pisture/gifs/ videos)
- recording should show only the relevant parts of UI to demo specific feature
- If shortcuts are relevant show them as a graphics (try to folow guid TODO add svg)
- don't record any unnecessary steps, pauses, slow mouse movements of mouse
- try to center content
- have some safe zomes (padding) fore better redabilty of picutes
- try to keep gif smalls max 500 px
- Try to think of every spesific step (script) befor you start recording
- do not use legacy icon packs in ui
- dont use unsupported themes (buged,low contras, ugly)
- framerate should not go unde 12fps
- files cannot be bigge then 2 mb
- if you record multiple commands split it in to diffrent gifs
- if demo is too complex record it normaly and them speed it up but to the point that acitons are stil clear
These are not hard rules but if possible please try to stick to it
