I tried to get this to do screen recording, and found it had to download ffmpeg (big download). So I gave it the path to a copy of ffmpeg.exe. But the screen recording keeps failing because the gdigrab device reports that "capture area extends outside window area". I found this is because gdigrab/ffmpeg doesn't seem to recognise the full desktop resolution.
edit: the ShareX project owner says it's apparently due to ffmpeg not detecting the screen resolution correctly, so another recorder device has to be installed (which has a further cursor-positioning issue). https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/923 https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/923
All this is to say that it's unfortunate that a mature open-source project like ShareX didn't work for me in this important use case. It would have been very handy. I guess I'll have to look at other screen recording tools.
