Nice, I’ll try it. I assume this takes a screenshot every second or so and we get a video?

Semi-related but I’ve been wanting a screen recording tool that drops identical consecutive frames for reducing file size. Maybe frame comparison would be mouse-insensitive idk. Cause I would like to review what I’ve been working on and still capture the details as I’m scrolling a page, but often there’s half a second where I’m just reading or I take a drink of water or something and I don’t need those frames. I suppose this is a pretty close approximation if I can capture like 10fps or something

You can drop similar frames with ffmpeg: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37088517/remove-sequenti...

The most obvious use is of course to reencode the video after you did your screen recording with your usual software, but it might be possible to combine with ffmpeg's screen capture and do it all in one go, I haven't tried it.
