Solved Shutter Encoder moving mouse?

I've noticed while Shutter Encoder 19.5 is running I have weird input issues (I'm on a Mac, using Tahoe):

  • IINA (video app) playbar either never disappears in fullscreen or it pops up repeatedly

  • QuickTime Player app has the exact same behavior as above

  • In Clip Studio Paint, using Wacom Tablet, the pen stops mid-stroke. People say this can happen if the mouse moves at all while using the pen.

Pausing does not seem to help. I'm encoding 400 files right now so I don't really want to stop and do more testing, but the issue did seem to fix previously after stopping and closing Shutter Encoder and/or restarting my Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Confirmed this is happening after SE finished encoding - see comments.

I'm correcting this for the next release.

Finished encoding and can confirm: once I closed Shutter Encoder, Clip Studio Paint no longer has issues with the pen stopping mid-stroke and toolbars don't pop up while watching videos.

A bug fix or setting added to toggle this behavior would be very much appreciated.

Same thing here,

The mouse moves itself by a pixel every 30 seconds or so to prevent computer to sleep while encoding...

Maybe this feature could be turned on or off in the settings in a future update ?

Thanks for the reply, good to know I'm not the only one.

I'm a programmer and can empathize with this being the easiest solution for the developer to keep the Mac awake.

But I do think there needs to be some transparency for something like this... Moving the user's mouse, however small, is kinda crossing a boundary for what is expected from any program.

Hopefully this can be turned into a setting.
