All the filemaker plug-ins I have found suck quite a lot.
Then you might try Clip2GIF, a scriptable application which I use for this
purpose. Here's a sample script:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
copy bounds of window 1 to wBounds
copy (name of window 1) & ".jpg" to wName
copy (path to desktop) as text to FName
copy FName & wName to newFileName
my snapIt(newFileName, wBounds)
end tell
on snapIt(wName, wBounds)
tell application "clip2gif"
try
save screen crop wBounds in file wName as JPEG scale 100 quality normal
on error errmsg
beep
activate me
display dialog errmsg buttons "OK" default button 1
error number -128
end try
end tell
end snapIt
