Really like the use of GIFs. I'm interested to know what you use to create such high-quality GIFs? How did you get a screen recording into a GIF and still keep so much quality? Thanks!

Hi Lewin! I often use Zight to quickly create GIFs that I use in my projects: https://zight.com/gif-maker/
Alternatively, I've had great success when using video to create the "illusion" of a GIF. You can use any video creation software (I usually use Peek 360). From there, I upload the .mp4 to a video hosting site like Wistia that allows me to adjust the video settings. I can set the video to continuously loop and autoplay so it appears like a GIF! To see an example of what I mean, take a look at the "GIFs" in this article. They're actually just continuous videos: https://community.articulate.com/articles/8-business-use-cases-for-microlearning
