🎥 sh2mp4
Records a shell script to mp4.
$ ./sh2mp4.sh "command to run" [output.mp4] [cols] [lines] [fps] [font] [font_size] [theme]
I set up a stdbuf fifo so you should be able to pipe stuff like keypresses in, but it's untested and you won't be able to see what you're doing either. Might be useful though.
