Capture - Super Slow on M1 MacBook Air

All,

 

I've just installed Capture on my M1 MacBook Air and have to say it has massive latency issues in the UI, while recording and also the recorded video has issues in terms of video and audio are not in sync. When I open the app it already takes forever. Then while recording you see latency issues while moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard. And in the final video the audio and video are not in sync, as well as the webcam recorded.

 

Any ideas about this?

 

Thanks a lot,

Dominik

    Hey domstefis, welcome to our Community! 

     

    As a first step, would you mind clarifying the OS you're using on your MacBook Air? 

     

    Also, do you notice this behavior with every single recording? Have you tried uninstalling Capture, and then re-installing it at all since you first noticed it? 

     

    Let me know more!

      Hi Megan,

       

      thanks for getting back to me. Here is my config:

       

      And yes, unfortunately I experience that issue every time I start the app and every time I record a video.

       

      I have also uninstalled + then reinstalled Dropbox Capture as per your advice, but the problem is still there is makes the app actually unusable. Very sad, as I was hoping to have an alternative for Loom.

       

      Thanks for your help,

      Dominik
