[FREE] Moments, a quick GIF replay recorder

Rad, Thanks so much!
Awesome of you to share this for free.

Quick question:
Do you know of a way of preventing flicker between frames?
I assume this is occurring because each frame has its own palette

 

Cool, how long can it record?

 

Hey Chman,

This looks excellent, thanks!

Can this handle multiple cameras? I'd like it to capture all active cameras if possible.

 

Wouldn't that generate a different GIF for each camera? I'm hoping for a composite of all cameras just a the game would render.

It'd be awesome if it could just be added to a scene and it would render all active cameras without the need to know which would be active. I use quite a few cameras but only a 2 or 3 are active at once. That is, I won't know before hand which are the active cameras.

 

Oh really? Sounds good - perhaps I'm just showing my ignorance here.

I have 1 camera for my UI, many for the scene proper but only one of these active at one time (views from different angles, cut scenes etc) and dynamically created ones for dialogs and bits etc.

All are composite drawn (yep, with Camera.depth and clear flags) - so if I set it on the topmost camera it'll render everything - I didn't realise that cameras worked like that, cool!!

 

Does this support multiple cameras rendering different layers?

 

Nice def think I'll use this.

hate that 2015 gif is still the only ubiquitous animated file format on the web though.. kinda sad apng never took off its way better.

 

Is there any way to also record UI that's layered on top?

 

Hi, is there any way to SAVE the gif during runtime, so the player can record his own gif and save it to Desktop? (Using WebGL Export)

I already tried serialization for hours, but it seems like Unity only serializes the first frame of the gif, not the rest, so the serialized and then saved file doesn't load the gif.

 

I try to build the apk to test and the .gif was save but exactly it is still image. I also import the .gif from mobile to computer and it still doesn't play the .gif file. Did this Moment Recorder support on mobile device? I test it in editor and everything was great.

 

Hi Everyone,

This is an awesome tool and feature to have in-game. I've been looking for ways to implement it into a WebGL build, although I've read saving images through the browser can be tricky because of browser security. After some research, I found code that is capable of saving single frame screenshots to the local drive, from a WebGL build.

here is that link to that code;
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how...f-the-browser-without-pop-up-blocking.440051/

I wanted to see if anyone might know if it's possible to combine these various scripts so that the GIF replay recorded using Moments could be saved to the local drive within a Unity WebGL build. I'm very new to coding so I'd be most appreciative to know how or if it's possible.

thank you,

 

Hello i want to record only Half screen of my image and then export to Gif using moment recoerder??

 

I have been using Moments and it's great- thanks. But it's not creating a gif when running on my phone, only on pc.
I really don't understand what's wrong and there are no errors being created.
I guess this is the bit that has the issue:
private void startGifEncoding() {
InstructionsText.enabled = false;
WaitText.enabled = true;
FBButton.enabled = false;

GalleryButton.enabled = false;

_progressBarHolder.SetActive(true);
ProgressBar.fillAmount = 0;
_gifRecorder.OnPreProcessingDone += gifDone;
_gifRecorder.OnFileSaved += gifSaved;
_gifRecorder.OnFileSaveProgress += progressUpdated;
_gifRecorder.Save("GamePlayCapture");
}

Any help is gratefully received!

 

Hi Rithy-Jim,
I am struggling to get this working on mobile too, but it's fine on pc.
Did you ever get it to work?

 

Quick note for users that import it in latest unity versions, you might want to add

Code (CSharp):

1. using MinAttribute = Moments.MinAttribute;

in MinDrawer.cs

 

Thanks Immu!
Also using the demo scene (or calling record() manually) I always get "Nothing to save. Maybe you forgot to start the recorder?" did you find a fix for that?

 

@Chman When running the demo scene (or calling record() manually) I always get "Nothing to save. Maybe you forgot to start the recorder?" do you have any idea why it's not recording? It's a vanilla copy from github in Unity 2019.
Thanks

 

Did anyone ever find a solution to "Nothing to save. Maybe you forgot to start the recorder?"?
I've recently moved my project to URP and now I can't get the recorder to work.

 

@st_Drunks @pXd-fs

Moments is using OnRenderImage(), which is not used in the scriptable render pipelines (e.g. URP). So it will not work.

There would probably be some way to adjust the code to use an output texture from the camera instead, but I don't know how to do that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
