Intermittent pause / skip in recorded video #690

I am thankful that such a wonderful software exists. Thanks to you for that.

I have come across a possible bug. When tried to capture a couple of screencasts using GIF, some parts of the activity is skipped in the recording. It appears as paused in the GIF.

You can notice a small freeze moment just after the initial part of the video. The whole process during that time is skipped and it is impossible to know what happened during that time. I hope there will be some method to fix it.

I am using Kubuntu 20.04.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS at 30 frames per second with resolution down sampling set to 1. However lag is less when peek --backend=ffmpeg is used:

mserve vu meter3

Checking or unchecking Capture mouse cursor doesn't seem to effect quality of .gif.

There is an error message which I don't think is influencing lag:

$ peek --backend=ffmpeg

** (peek:14158): WARNING **: Binding '<Ctrl><Alt>R' failed!

That said, peek is an awesome program!
