This issue is hopefully fixed in this: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/pull/643

Haven't done a beta release after that was merged, so we can keep this open and track if the issue persists in the next version

What is the current status on this?
I am curious about the planned implementation, and have the wish for something similar to Gifox:

It is great to be able to set the record FPS rather low and then the playback high to speed up the gif and shrink the size!

Should I open another issue to express/clarify this wish?

Ok, I couldn't resist forking and poking around a bit when i realized KAP is react based!
(Very cool)
I managed to make a commit that changes to UI in the direction I am thinking (but I have no idea how to wire up those config options to the viewer and export options), could anyone point me in the right direction?

We're working on a new release and this issue should be fixed in the latest release @gotjoshua. We have 2 options for recording speed, as not all hardware deal well with recording at 60 FPS, and you can tweak the FPS as needed to manage the file size in the final export. It's generally a good idea to look for issues tagged "good first issue" or "help wanted" @gotjoshua, thank you for taking the time!

Hey, Thanks for the reply @skllcrn
I can see now that master has the pulldown menus instead of the switch - thats already great.

I am looking for more flexibility in the options...

As I said if i record a quick feature screenshot in 5fps and then export it at 15, I have a small file that plays at 3x speed and gets a point across very quickly.

As there is already a pulldown menu it was quite easy in the UI to add more options.
But I don't know how to wire up the new options to the actual app functionality.

I think this discussion does not belong here if it will continue, but I'm also not sure if a feature request is appropriate nor wished... what do you think?
