GIF Capture from animations

[joneubank]

There should be a system to start/stop recording across multiple animation frames and save the output as a gif. I am not currently aware of a way to do this and need to do some research at into existing tools to help with this (canvas->gif).

If there is no existing solution, lets break down the problem into steps to find tools to solve it. The RGB output of each frame could be stored (memory or in files system as image file), and then those images could be fed into a gif maker. There may be a way to do this within the context of the browser, but if not at least automating the image saving flow would be a good step towards saving animation outputs.
