Did you download the Gifski dll via the Options > Extras > "Download Gifski" button?

Hmm, without an error message this will be hard to be solved.
From what I can see, it's stuck on the first step of the encoding, like something is blocking from even starting.

Please, check if the Dll file is not being blocked by some anti-virus. Also, check if it's not marked as "Downloaded from the internet" (If you right click on the DLL, open Properties, check if there's a button that says something like "Unblock").

@u2shana @Kristinita @clickwithclark
There's a new test version which should solve this bug.
Download here: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/551

Can you people test it?
In order to test it, you need to delete the old Gifski and download again via Options > Extras, while using the test version of ScreenToGif.

Had just a similiar issue. You have to download gifski in the settings dialog. Downloading it from Website and pointing to that path fails when trying to create the gif with this error:

   bei System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(IntPtr ptr, Type t)
   bei ScreenToGif.Util.GifskiInterop..ctor()
   bei ScreenToGif.Util.EncodingManager.<Encode>d__27.MoveNext()
