    What tools do you know? I'm pretty sure you're already close to having all you need. Here's information that might help you. I'm sure I'm missing a ton, but it should give you an idea of the breadth of your options:

    Tools I know that can animate and export to gif or video:

    • Photoshop
    • Flash
    • After Effects
    • Keynote

    Tools that can make interactive prototypes:

    • HTML and CSS if you know them
    • Framer (requires Javascript knowledge)
    • Keynote
    • Quartz Composer
    • Marvel?
    • Macaw
    • Invision (not as rich as others)

    Tools that can capture to gif or video:

    • Quicktime player (choose file → new screen recording)
    • LiceCAP (crowd favorite)
    • GifGrabber

    Tools that can transform video formats to gif:

    • Gif Brewery
    • Gifrocket
    • ClipConverter

      Thanks for all the info Louis-André!! It's more then enough that I needed, thanks you so much!

      I'm currently doing more of the interactive prototypes, using Invision, thought it's good enough for me, but I'll def try the others out as you suggested.

      I was looking for tools that can animate and export to gif :) so thanks for all the list! I'll probably try out Photoshop first as many of you suggested.
