Confused by exporting

Ive messed with this a little bit and I love its style, but how do i export things as not just txt files? I figured it would get blasted out as a gif or something usable outside of the program since just dumping a txt file with a bunch of extra symbols strewn about doesnt seem too useful. am I just missing something here (including the point)?

Developer

It only outputs text files with the special symbols used for animations. The main idea of it was that the pretty stuff is there to make your writing process more fun while letting you copy everything/save it as a .txt to send to people in a more serious conventional format.

If you want to record gifs of the text animations/the process of you writing it:

  1. get this free app https://www.screentogif.com/
  2. turn off windowed mode in textreme settings
  3. launch screentogif in recording mode, select area to record, fps etc. etc.
  4. cut off the ends so that it loops
  5. export what you got as gif
  6. fiddle with it here until the file is of a reasonable sizehttps://ezgif.com/optimize

Hope that helps!

I understand, thanks so much! I guess it wasnt what I needed myself but hey, three bucks going to a small dev is hardly anything im going to worry about. Keep up the great work, Im sure this cute little piece of kit will come in use eventually.
