hi there

when using screentogif to record a longer video, like 10-15min long (no game recording, just dektop while doing stuff, now and then opening steam client). when i was done, i waited until it finally renders the videos. when nothing happened after 10 min, i force closed it and checked my HDD space. 50gb were missing. i looked into the screentogif appdata temp folders and saw temp files of the rendering being 50gb big. cant tell hat went wrong. i used it just normal and it never rendered the video but created already 50gb of temp files lol. is that supposed to happen?
