Takes forever to export the recording... #996

macOS version: 11.2.3 (Big Sur)
Kap version: Version 3.3.2 (3.3.2.1718)

Steps to reproduce: Just record the screen and export it.

Current behaviour: Takes about 45 minutes to export a 1 minute recording into MP4(AV1) format at 30FPS.

Expected behaviour: I expect there is some issue with this version else it should be incredibly faster

Workaround: Could not find one yet.

Thanks

MP4 (AV1) will not be the default following the next release. For now you will need to manually select MP4 (h264) when exporting your capture.

AV1 is unfortunately extremely slow as it's a new format, which is not yet been optimized. It also doesn't have hardware encoding, which makes the biggest difference.

Thank you @skllcrn @sindresorhus . Just tested it with MP4(H264). It’s extremely faster than AV1.
Also, I noticed that QuickTime Player fails to open the AV1 version of the exported video. But, H264 works fine.
Thanks.
