#Embed gif from licecap series

In the real life you can create a series of screencasts to show how this or that option works, for example, as we did for Table Filter add-on. GIF animations allow you to captivate your readers and viewers with the visually appealing content that they are also easy to percept and understand. In the current blog post we will review tools and applications that can facilitate your experience with screencasts and speed up your work on their production. So screencasts will be perfect to present some instructions or how-to-do steps on the pages of your web blog.

They are good to capture attention of your readers with some animated images and save some time page space on images and text description. Animated files and screencasts are also ideal to show dynamics and changes that occur on the screen. So is there any solution that can simplify this experience? Yes, there is – animated screencasts in GIF. But if you has not uploaded your video to YouTube, you will encounter some difficulties with storing this video file in your JIRA or Confluence. While working with documentation or issues, sometimes you realize that posting a video file is much more convenient than describe all instructions or issue reproduction steps. In most cases, Confluence is used to store documentation with instructions, and JIRA for keeping bugs and issue reports. All of us, amateurs of Confluence and JIRA, post a lot of information to Atlassian ecosystem.
