OBS is much more aimed at livestreaming to platforms like Twitch and managing multiple cameras incl one of you, one of your screen etc. Well beyond what Cap is for.

But yes, use the most specialized tool for the task at hand.

Cap completely ate several recordings for me. Admittedly they were over an hour long, and I should’ve broken them up a bit, and perhaps it’s not what it’s used for. Switched back to OBS, while it’s not as easy to use it’s pretty reliable

Why are the binary releases hosted on a 3rd party site and not on Github?

So they can see how many people download each binary

'download_count' is part of the REST API https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/assets

I rest my case then.

Cap routinely fails to render videos properly. The mouse ends up way off where it was, overlays somehow fail to be rendered.

Even if the preview player shows it correct, once it's rendered the cursor just seems to drift way off making the video useless.

I've gone back to using QuickTime.
