FYI for anyone on OS X Catalina (and likely Big Sur): this doesn't seem to work, as it's not detecting AVFoundation support in ffmpeg. See this issue: https://github.com/cytopia/ffscreencast/issues/31

That has a nice associated command line tool too handy for scripting (e.g. make bat file you can drop file on to share etc).
