ffmpeg doesn’t exit when canceling the export #999

macOS version: 10.14.6
Kap version: 3.3.2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Capture a video
  2. Click export
  3. Cancel the export
  4. Open activity monitor and search for ffmpeg
  5. You should see it still open.

Current behaviour

ffmpeg doesn’t get properly disposed of on export cancel

Expected behaviour

ffmpeg gets disposed of and everything is fine.

Workaround

I don’t think there is one besides force quitting ffmpeg in activity monitor.

Also found this on:
Kap: 3.3.2
macOS: 11.4

After exporting to MP4 (AV1) and then cancelling the export, the ffmpeg processes are still running at full cpu usage. I'm not sure whether they would eventually "complete" and stop

Exporting using the AV1 codec is very resource intensive, and the process can take several seconds to terminate. Are you seeing this issue exporting with the MP4 H264 format?

I'm a little late but if I remember correctly, H264 worked perfectly and was much faster.
