Ask HN: Recs for a lightweight bug reporting tool that also supports video?

3 points by blymph ↗ HN
Like the title says. I've been using local tools like Quicktime and Screencastomatic to debug with screen recordings, but then I have to deal with converting it into a gif and then uploading the gif. Any recommendations for something quick and lightweight?

We've built a tool for this use case. It's called Outclip -- https://checkoutclip.com. You'll need to install the Outclip chrome extension (click on 'get chrome extension' on the above webpage) and after that it's a couple of clicks to start a screen recording. After you stop recording, within a few moments you'll have a link (e.g. https://video.checkoutclip.com/-LDQ5TtL_yywYCgUNb6K) you can share with others or use in a bug report. People can click the link to view the video.

We don't support gif creation, to do that you can download the video file (.mp4) from Outclip and use a service like https:///cloudconvert.com to convert to gif.
