What a smooth cursor does to a screen recording

I've been working on Screenix for a few months and the cursor in exports always felt slightly off, not laggy but just not as smooth as the actual mouse movement (like screen studio does it well)

so I rewrote the rendering pipeline and it's properly fluid now, what do you think?

I've been building Screenix, a screen recorder for Linux with auto-zoom and cursor tracking (basically Screen Studio but native Linux)

Last week two Odoo users independently reached out, their team mostly uses Mac + Screen Studio, but two devs are on Linux and had nothing comparable, they asked for mask/blur/highlight zones to redact sensitive data in their recordings

so I shipped it within hours, they came back with more feedback: zoom options and speed controls and those already existed but weren't discoverable enough, so I fixed the UX and sent a demo

That turnaround is the best part of solo dev, someone tells you what they need and you ship it the same day

If you're on Linux and miss Screen Studio-level recordings, Screenix has a 7-day trial with full exports: https://screenix.studio

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests here!
