That's not necessary...

7GIF requires admin rights to run.

Calls home on first run.

I put together a basic video: 7GIF Intro (5.9 megs; MP4 format; no sound)

Edit: the video was generated using Carnac and ShareX. I'll probably bump up the framerate next time.

while in 7GIF version 1.2.0.1280 they are hidden in Zoom sub-menu:

so an extra click is needed to access them.
