Hello there. Love S2G, use it daily and have donated.

However, there's an issue where a recorded GIF will crop the top couple of lines of pixels, regardless of how its sized.

This is the GIF (check the very top)...

And this is the S2G recording window

Hmm, that's new.

Which version are you using? v2.27.3 is the latest.
Have you tried moving the recorder screen around before or while recording? (to check if the capture padding gets removed).

Also, what are you recording exactly? Is it directly from a game engine render or from a video/animation?

Have you tried using the newer recorder UI? And also perhaps the DirectX recording method (Options > Recorder).

Verified on the latest version 2.29. And I found that there's a transparent border (1px width) outside the recording area:

So if you can see a 200x200 size area in the recorder, the actual recording size should be 198x198. (By the way, the size value on the bottom right of the recorder window is correct. It's the actual recording size.)
