Make cursor overly OBS/macos app capture compatible?

[hanoii]

I am not sure this is a bug, but.

I was trying to use this app with OBS Studio to so I could capture a single widow and also add both faceapp and presentify as app captures. It kind of works, but the border of the camera displays different and I can't see any color on the cursor, only greyscale, which according to ChatGPT is because of a composite writing that the app capture misses. I wonder if you can do this in a way that can be captured fully by OBS or any other app screen capturing that uses native osx capture.

Hi, is it possible for you to share a screenshot of this? I am not sure I fully understand the issue.

This is probably hard to explain, but I'll try.

Have a look at this screenshot (left is display, right is OBS preview):

What I was trying to accomplish is to record a window. I didn't want to record my whole screen, as I normally pop up passwords/clipboard managers and I'd like to be very selective about what is recorded. So I tried using OBS studio and configured to record three sources:

This was now a quick test so I didn't bother to match coordinates and the like but the three sources are the same thing, which is macos native screen capture. Like when you share something on zoom or the like and you can chose between windows, apps or entire screens.

The first one is the browser window, the second one is the full FaceScreen application and the third one is the Presentify application. If you look at both the border of the camera and the cursor highlight you'll see that they don't look the same. The border shadow is much more rough and the cursor is less bright. I found other issues and it changes based on the background.

I tried researching more on this myself and I am not sure if there's something you can do from the app point of view. So for now leaving this notes here in case you are curious enough about this.
