~I’m sharing a two-part blog series titled '*Automating UI Change Verification with Android Compose Screenshot Testing.*'. <https://proandroiddev.com/ui-change-verification-with-android-compose-screenshot-testing-part-1-172b8b4bc3fe|Part 1> covers Compose Screenshot Testing. <https://proandroiddev.com/automating-ui-change-verification-with-android-compose-screenshot-testing-part2-485784639546|Part 2> explains how to automate this testing using GitHub Actions. I hope this series will be helpful for those considering screenshot testing!~
Moved to the <#C0BJ0GTE2|> channel. :pray:

this is cool, thanks for sharing. do you know if there’s also a way to capture compose animations?

Thank you for your interest! :simple_smile: Since compose animation is a video rather than a single captured moment, it might be difficult to take a screenshot. I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure if there's a way to do it.

the animation can be previewed from Android studio so I thought, since we can capture a screenshot, maybe there’s already a way also to also capture an animated composable

FYI, articles, blogpost, etc. should be posted in <#C0BJ0GTE2|>.

Oh sorry I will move it to the feed channel!

<@U023SMHKQBS> Not sure about Android, but it's possible to do on other platforms (e.g. desktop, as well as other skiko platforms).
You can use a `ImageComposeScene`, advance its time (e.g. if you want 60 fps, you'll wanna advance by 16ms each step), then render each frame into a picture and save it.

That way you'll have a bunch of pictures representing each frame, and you can use a tool like `ffmpeg`  with the right incantations to turn them into a video file.
