Buffer in video editing

[iamsoum]

Description

I'm wondering why the video editor part of Cap would buffer like a Youtube video, assuming that's what's happening, sometimes the buffer feels like a temporary infinite freeze until I go back and forth.

Another issue is that I had to use Quicktime Player to record this screen recording because Cap won't capture the video editor panel of it's own app even though it's set to record entire screen. But that would be a separate issue.

Actually one more separate issue can be opened because once the player in the editor is playing the video, I cannot move the playhead forward to skip viewing the parts like you would expect as on a Youtube video. All these things work smoothly in the native Quicktime Player of MacOS. If you request I can open these two as separate issue leaving only the first issue of buffer here. Let me know.

Additional Context

• Cap version: 0.3.0 beta-9.1

This should be less common in the next release, previously the playback engine would basically lockup if the decoder didn't have any frames ready, now it'll just wait for the decoder to catch up and resume playing when possible
