#CLMOOC I have to be doing this wrong

I am working on some iPad tutorials (I hope to get to game making) and wanted animated gifs. These are my fav way to do tutorials. My workflow is probably messed up. Here it is:

• Use reflector to send iPad to Mac.
• Record to Screencast-o-Matic.
• Edit with overlays.
• Upload to Youtube.
• Make gifs using Imgur.

I originally added annotations using Google's new tool but that be html and not encoded in the video. It didn't go with the source to Imgur.

Is there a better way?
