Measures how long OpenScreen takes to turn a 60 s screen recording into a finished 1080p60 MP4, next to the apps it competes with, on one clip with one edit applied and one stopwatch. What makes the numbers defensible: - The source is generated from a seed rather than shipped, so two machines can prove they measured the same workload by comparing one sha256. It is built to look like a screen recording — static regions, sharp edges, localized motion — because that is what changes an encoder's job. - One clock for every app. It starts when the export is committed and stops when the last byte lands; app launch, project loading and presets are warm-up and are reported separately. Apps that publish their own completion signal can shorten their measurement, never lengthen it. - Outputs are verified as pixels, not just metadata: corner colour proves the background, a content bounding box measures the real inset, an inset corner against its own edge proves the radius, and a frame-to-frame activity trace proves each zoom actually rendered. A run that fails verification is a failure, not a fast time. - Padding controls are on a different scale in every app — asked for "5", Cap gave a 1.85 % inset and OpenScreen 10 %, a 44 % difference in pixels sampled per frame. `bench.mjs calibrate` solves each app's control against measured output so they composite the same rectangle. - Background CPU is sampled per run and printed in the table. It is the one precondition that never announces itself. Fidelity is tracked per app and partial rows are ranked separately: an app that skipped the compositing did less work and is a reference, not a competitor. Only two of the apps can be scripted the ordinary way. Screen Studio marks its editor kCGWindowSharingNone — invisible to every capture API — and publishes no accessibility tree, so it and the other Electron apps are driven over CDP by element text, which reproduces better than coordinates. Camtasia has an AppleScript dictionary; FocuSee is native and exposes its AX tree. Two competitors are gated by their vendors rather than by the automation, and both are documented in place: Screen Studio requires an activated licence to export at all, and FocuSee 2.4.1 rejects every MP4 as "damaged", including real recordings. See benchmark/README.md for the method and benchmark/REMOTE.md for driving a run from a dispatched session.
Three things in the harness decide whether a number means anything, and none of them is exercised by running the benchmark itself: - `ps` prints cumulative CPU as [[dd-]hh:]mm:ss[.ff]. A form the parser misses reports 0 CPU seconds for a busy process rather than failing, so every variant is pinned. - `median`/`mad` must return null for an empty sample. Returning 0 would let an app that never produced a valid export appear at the top of the table. - `fidelity` decides whether a row is ranked or merely listed. An app that applied nothing must score 0, and a scenario that asks for nothing must not demand it. Also extends vitest's include to reach `benchmark/`, which the existing glob did not cover.
A remote-desktop session holds 100-200% of a core permanently and nothing warns about it: no throttling, no error, every export simply slower. It is the same for every app in one run, so the comparison survives it and the absolute times do not — which is why it belongs in the table rather than a footnote.
…ancels out The README said background load affects every app the same way, so the comparison survives it. That is wrong, and the run that produced this commit shows it: Cap took 19.6 s on a quiet machine and 40.2 s an hour into a loaded one, while the ffmpeg floor moved only 17.7 s to 23.9 s over the same change. A parallel encoder contends for cores a VideoToolbox-bound one never wanted, and an hour of continuous transcoding heat-soaks the SoC — so whichever app runs last carries a handicap. Rather than assume it away, measure it: the floor workload now runs again after every app, and the report prints the ratio. At ~1.00 the ordering did not matter. Above it, the report says so in bold and tells the reader not to quote the numbers without a quieter re-run.
…r timeout Two faults the first long run exposed. A render that has begun puts something on disk within seconds. The watcher had only one timeout — the full 45-minute render budget — so an export that never started at all (a click that missed, a dialog that did not open) cost the run an hour of waiting on a file nobody was writing. Nothing appearing within four minutes is now a failure with that reason attached. The OpenScreen GUI driver was one such case: on a repeat run the editor can still be showing the previous export's completion state, and the driver clicked through a dialog that had never opened. It now confirms the dialog is up before touching its controls, retries once, and fails loudly if it is not.
An editor with no project loaded exports happily: OpenScreen wrote a 262-byte MP4 with no streams, in about a second. The GUI driver now gates on the editor actually showing the benchmark project — the background colour and a timeline of the right length — instead of reading the composition panel for information and proceeding regardless. An instant, wildly fast render is the symptom a benchmark must never accept. That file had 'appeared', so the appear-timeout never fired and the watcher sat on a header for the full render budget. A file that appears and then stops short of a plausible size is now failed with its byte count in the reason. And 'run --id X' silently discarded everything already measured under X, which is exactly what REMOTE.md tells people to do to pick up after a failure. '--append' now merges, replacing only the apps named on the command line.
…raped text The previous gate matched the background colour and a timeline duration in the editor's innerText. The colour matched and the duration regex did not, so a correctly loaded project was rejected — a text-scrape is the wrong instrument for a question the app can answer directly. electronAPI.loadCurrentProjectFile() returns the open project's path. Comparing it to the path the driver just wrote is unambiguous and does not care how the editor formats a timecode.
Kap's editor is single-use. Once an export finishes it swaps the Convert button for a share prompt, so the second and third repetitions had nothing to click and failed with 'could not find the Convert button'. Each run now reopens the clip when the button is gone — before ctx.commit(), so the reopen is warm-up and not part of the measurement.
Kap keeps one editor window. Once an export completes it leaves that window showing a share prompt where the Convert button was, and opening the same file again only refocuses it — so the previous fix detected the missing button and then reopened into the same dead editor. The app has to go away and come back. The relaunch runs before ctx.commit(), so it is warm-up and not measured.
… floor The largest source of error found while building this is not CPU. Parsec, Screen Sharing and ARD encode the screen continuously through VTEncoderXPCService — the same hardware H.264 encoder every app here uses for its export — and no CPU measurement sees that contention. Measured: the floor went 17.7s to 23.7s with a remote session live, while Cap went 19.6s to 43.8s. Padding calibration and the background colour were both ruled out by A/B first (42.6s vs 42.5s, and 42.4s with the original colour), so the media engine is what is left. Within one run the numbers still hold, and the closing control is the evidence: 23.69s against an opening 23.68s, so every app in the committed run met the same conditions. Also: the floor reported 0 CPU seconds because the sampler matches processes by argv prefix and the driver gave it none; it now points at the resolved binary. Its 'version' pasted a filesystem path into the results table. And the report now says plainly that an output a fraction of the others' size is not the same work — Kap encodes at 565 kbps against Cap's 6983, which is most of why it is a floor reference and not a competitor.
… blur The scenario was too light to mean anything. A screen clip on a flat colour measures decoding and encoding; it does not measure what a demo export actually costs. Missing entirely: a background the compositor has to sample, motion blur, the rendered pointer, and a camera inset — and the pointer and the camera are a large share of the work. The pointer is the important one. These apps hide the system cursor while recording and re-draw it at export time from a sidecar, with their own sprite, smoothing, motion blur and click effects. The fixture used to paint a fake cursor into the video, which exercised none of that and would have double-drawn once an app rendered its own. So the trajectory is now generated as data — eased glides between dwell points, with clicks at the pauses, which is the shape smoothing and dwell-based auto-zoom actually react to — written in each app's telemetry format, and the screen clip is left clean. Also generated from the same seed: a wallpaper (sampled per pixel, not cleared once) and a webcam track with a moving, blinking subject to decode, mask and shadow every frame. The verifier had to grow with it, and two of its new checks were wrong first: - Geometry silently stopped running the moment the background became an image, because it keyed on colour equality — so padding, radius and background went unverified exactly when they got more expensive. It now separates the dark recording from the light wallpaper by luminance. - The cursor and webcam detectors both passed videos that contain neither. Caught by running them against Kap and the ffmpeg floor, which draw no pointer and no camera. The cursor check was comparing the pointer's window against the frame's static corners, so it was really asking "is this region busier than the edges"; controls now sit on the same scrolling material the cursor crosses. Thresholds are calibrated against measured positives and negatives, and the raw ratios are recorded on every run so the margin is auditable. Finally, the verifier now overrides the driver. A driver reports what it configured; only pixels say what happened. Cap accepts a cursor track, reports cursor.hide false, and renders no pointer — that was full fidelity before and is 0.9 with `cursor` contradicted now.
A platform layer now holds everything that differs — process sampling, hardware and power state, installing an app, launching and quitting it, and which hardware H.264 encoder ffmpeg should use (videotoolbox, nvenc, qsv, amf, or libx264 with a loud note, because a floor measured on a software encoder is not comparable to one measured on silicon). The measurement core is untouched by platform: one stopwatch, one fidelity model, one verifier, or the two platforms slowly stop measuring the same thing. UI driving is the part that genuinely differs. macOS answers through AppleScript and the accessibility API; Windows answers through UI Automation from PowerShell, which is the same idea — controls addressed by name, never by coordinate. Two things are easier there: file dialogs take a full path in their name field, so there is no ⇧⌘G dance and no way for a path to land in the editor when the dialog failed to open; and Electron apps expose a real UIA tree where on macOS they are frequently an empty shell. The competitor set changes with the platform, and is better on Windows: Kap and Screen Studio are macOS-only, but Cap ships cap-cli.exe so it stays headless, Camtasia has a Batch Export, and FocuSee's Windows download is the real application rather than the downloader stub the Mac side gets — so the app that could not be benchmarked here may well work there. The Windows drivers have NOT been run: there is no Windows machine reachable from where they were written. They are written against documented automation surfaces, every lookup fails with the control names it did find attached, and `bench.mjs discover <app>` dumps the real tree on the target machine.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded a cross-platform benchmark system. It defines deterministic fixtures and scenarios, automates supported desktop applications, measures exports, verifies rendered fidelity, calibrates controls, persists run state, and generates reports through a new CLI. ChangesBenchmark foundations
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds a cross-platform benchmark, but the current implementation is not merge-ready: Linux CI can fail, Windows installation and export paths use macOS-specific behavior, and calibration or project-selection bugs can produce failed or misleading measurements. These bounded correctness and portability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@benchmark/bench.mjs`:
- Around line 484-523: Update the calibration context object in calibrateApp to
include assets: calibAssets, so the ctx passed to driver.prepare() and
driver.runExport() uses the same wallpaper and webcam inputs as the benchmark
run via baseCtx.assets.
In `@benchmark/drivers/ffmpeg-baseline.mjs`:
- Around line 62-92: Update runExport to use the encoder selected by
pickH264Encoder(ffmpeg) instead of hardcoding h264_videotoolbox, and include the
selector’s matching rateArgs in the FFmpeg argument list. Preserve the existing
output settings while ensuring the encoder used by export matches the encoder
reported by prepare().
In `@benchmark/drivers/screen-studio.mjs`:
- Around line 123-131: Update the project discovery block to import and use
statSync, remove the dead readFileSync mapping, and select the .screenstudio
directory with the newest modification time rather than lexicographically
sorting full paths; keep the existing no-project error and project.json loading
behavior unchanged.
In `@benchmark/lib/calibrate.mjs`:
- Around line 39-57: Update measureInset to remove the existing file at the path
returned by driver.outputPath(ctx) before calling driver.runExport, matching the
cleanup behavior of runner.runOnce. Preserve the subsequent waitForStableFile
and inspection flow so each calibration probe measures only its newly generated
export.
In `@benchmark/lib/fixture.mjs`:
- Around line 287-306: Update the fixture encode arguments to use the probed
encoder object’s encoder value and rateArgs output, matching the existing
buildWebcam pattern; remove the hardcoded h264_videotoolbox and duplicate
bitrate argument so encoder-specific options, including libx264’s preset, are
applied. Keep the completion log’s enc.encoder provenance aligned with the
encoder actually used.
In `@benchmark/lib/install.mjs`:
- Around line 76-98: Update the install download flow to reuse the
platform-specific curl and nul values: replace the hardcoded "/dev/null" output
target in the effective-URL request with nul, and invoke curl in the download
run using curl instead of "/usr/bin/curl". Keep the existing arguments and
download behavior unchanged.
In `@benchmark/lib/platform.mjs`:
- Around line 21-27: Remove the module-level platform throw in the platform
guard module so importing benchmark utilities remains safe on Linux. Add or use
an explicit assertSupportedPlatform() entry point, and invoke it at the start of
the bench.mjs command handlers that require GUI-driving support, preserving the
existing macOS/Windows validation message.
In `@benchmark/scenarios/index.test.mjs`:
- Around line 20-28: Update the fidelity expectations in the complete and
partial cases to include motionBlur, cursor, and webcam alongside the existing
enabled effects; ensure the partial missing-effects list includes them and
recalculate its score using all 10 effects instead of 7.

Minor comments:
In `@benchmark/bench.mjs`:
- Line 225: Replace the unused template literal in the missing-dependencies
message within the benchmark flow with a plain string literal, preserving the
existing log text and behavior.
In `@benchmark/drivers/camtasia-win.mjs`:
- Around line 166-180: Update the render-waiting flow in runExport so reaching
the deadline without successful completion throws an explicit error, including
when sawProgress is true but the output file is absent. Preserve the existing
markComplete and file-watcher fallback paths.
In `@benchmark/drivers/camtasia.mjs`:
- Around line 264-286: Update the export-waiting loop in runExport so reaching
the 30-minute deadline while isExporting remains true throws an error instead of
returning normally. Preserve the existing completion and watcher fallback
behavior, and align the timeout failure handling with the analogous path in
kap.mjs.
In `@benchmark/drivers/cap.mjs`:
- Around line 62-66: Update version detection in benchmark/drivers/cap.mjs lines
62-66 and benchmark/drivers/openscreen-cli.mjs lines 57-61: when running on
Windows, return appVersion(APP); retain the existing /usr/bin/defaults
Info.plist lookup for macOS.
In `@benchmark/drivers/README.md`:
- Line 48: Update the AppleScript dictionary capability statement in the driver
capability table to acknowledge Camtasia’s documented AppleScript support for
import and isExporting, matching the corresponding capability entry in the
benchmark README.
In `@benchmark/drivers/screen-studio.mjs`:
- Around line 152-156: Guard the page-target lookup in the CDP setup before
accessing target.webSocketDebuggerUrl. Follow the existing named-error behavior
used by openscreen-gui.mjs, or use CdpSession.attach if it provides the
appropriate validation, so a missing page target reports a clear cause instead
of a TypeError; preserve the subsequent session opening and DOM_HELPERS
evaluation for valid targets.
In `@benchmark/lib/fixture.mjs`:
- Line 262: Update the progress log in the fixture encoding path to include the
missing separator between spec.height and spec.fps, so the output clearly
renders the resolution followed by the frame rate.
In `@benchmark/lib/permissions.mjs`:
- Around line 61-68: Update accessibilityGranted to return an explicit
non-applicable result on non-macOS platforms before invoking osascript, allowing
benchmark preflight to report that the accessibility check does not apply
instead of denying access. Preserve the existing macOS osascript validation and
align automationStatus with the same non-macOS behavior.
In `@benchmark/lib/report.mjs`:
- Around line 66-81: Update the report generation around drift, closingControl,
and ranked so the measured closing-control result is represented in the Markdown
and HTML output, including the computed drift ratio. Do not filter the
closing-control row out of all rendered results; integrate it into the existing
report path while preserving the ranking behavior for regular workload rows.
In `@benchmark/lib/uiScript.mjs`:
- Around line 287-317: Make savePanelTo throw UiScriptError when its
sheet-detection wait expires, before executing the osa keystroke block. In
benchmark/drivers/focusee.mjs lines 150-170 and
benchmark/drivers/screen-studio.mjs lines 210-230, verify the save panel is
present before sending keystrokes or replace each inline osa block with
savePanelTo; no other sites require changes.
In `@benchmark/lib/uiWindows.mjs`:
- Around line 78-89: Update launchApp so every entry in args is individually
quoted before constructing the PowerShell -ArgumentList expression, ensuring
paths such as ctx.source.path containing spaces remain a single argument when
passed to Start-Process. Reuse the existing q helper and preserve the current
empty-args behavior.
- Around line 234-241: Add System.Drawing to the existing PowerShell Add-Type
-AssemblyName prelude so the fallback in clickControl can construct
System.Drawing.Point and still return { ok: false } when no preceding UIA
pattern is available.
In `@benchmark/README.md`:
- Line 250: In the benchmark documentation, update the “Repetitions and guards”
heading to appear once with proper spacing, removing the duplicated concatenated
heading text.
- Around line 75-78: Update both fenced code blocks in the benchmark
documentation, including the blocks containing the benchmark metadata and
results content, with an appropriate language identifier such as text so
Markdownlint MD040 validation passes.
In `@benchmark/REMOTE.md`:
- Around line 3-5: Reconcile the runtime estimates in the introductory run
description and the six-app, three-repetition example by explicitly
distinguishing benchmark execution time from installation, calibration, setup,
or other overhead; ensure both sections describe consistent conditions.
In `@benchmark/scenarios/index.mjs`:
- Around line 45-50: Update the background handling in openscreen-gui.mjs and
screen-studio.mjs to branch on background.kind rather than assuming a color
value. For image backgrounds, apply or report the configured asset through the
image path; retain the existing color behavior for color backgrounds and avoid

Pass calibAssets into the calibration context.
calibrateApp() passes ctx to both driver.prepare() and driver.runExport(). Because ctx.assets is absent, enabled wallpaper or webcam inputs are omitted during calibration, while cmdRun supplies them through baseCtx.assets. Add assets: calibAssets so calibration measures the same composition as the benchmark run.

Use the selected encoder instead of hardcoding h264_videotoolbox.
Line 64 calls pickH264Encoder(ffmpeg) and then the args ignore the result. pickH264Encoder in benchmark/lib/platform.mjs returns h264_nvenc, h264_qsv, h264_amf, or libx264 when videotoolbox is absent, and supplies matching rateArgs. Two consequences follow:
- On Windows and on any ffmpeg build without VideoToolbox, ffmpeg exits non-zero, so the floor row never produces a measurement.
prepare()reportsenc.encoderin its notes, so the report can name an encoder the export never used.

Select the newest project by mtime.
Two problems are in this block. The .map((d) => ({ d, m: readFileSync })) step is dead: it stores the readFileSync function and the next .map discards it. dirs.sort() then orders full paths lexicographically, not by creation time. Any pre-existing project whose directory name sorts after the imported one wins, so the driver writes the scenario into that project and measures the wrong composition.
🐛 Proposed fix
- const dirs = readdirSync(PROJECTS)
- .filter((d) => d.endsWith(".screenstudio"))
- .map((d) => ({ d, m: readFileSync }))
- .map(({ d }) => join(PROJECTS, d));
- if (!dirs.length) throw new Error(`no .screenstudio project appeared in ${PROJECTS}`);

Remove the previous probe output before each calibration export.
driver.outputPath(ctx) returns the same path for every probe, because cmdCalibrate pins run: { index: 0 }. measureInset does not delete that file. On probe 2 and later, waitForStableFile sees the existing file on its first poll, records that poll as growth, and returns after stableMs even if the app has written nothing yet. inspectExport then measures the previous probe's frame, so the secant solve fits stale insets and calibration.json stores a wrong paddingControl.
runner.runOnce already deletes the output first (line 68); calibration needs the same guard.

The fixture encode hardcodes h264_videotoolbox and ignores the probed encoder.
Line 216 probes the encoder with pickH264Encoder(ffmpeg), but the encode passes the literal h264_videotoolbox at line 288 and its own -b:v at lines 289-290. Two consequences follow:
- On Windows, or on a macOS ffmpeg build without VideoToolbox,
pickH264Encoderreturnsh264_nvenc,h264_qsv,h264_amforlibx264, and the encode still requestsh264_videotoolbox. ffmpeg then exits non-zero and fixture generation fails, so no benchmark can run on those hosts. - Line 305 logs
using ${enc.encoder}, which reports an encoder that did not produce the file. The recorded provenance is wrong even when the encode succeeds.
buildWebcam in benchmark/lib/assets.mjs (lines 152-154) already uses enc.encoder and enc.rateArgs(...). Apply the same pattern here. Note that libx264 needs -preset, which enc.rateArgs supplies.

Use the resolved curl and nul values; the download path is hardcoded to macOS.

The module-level throw fails CI on Linux runners.
This throw runs at import time. benchmark/lib/measure.test.mjs imports benchmark/lib/fixture.mjs, which imports benchmark/lib/env.mjs, which imports this module. On a Linux CI runner the import chain throws before any test executes, and the Test check fails with the message from line 23.
The unit tests under review cover platform-agnostic logic (CPU-time parsing, statistics, fidelity scoring), so they do not need a macOS or Windows host.

Closing: this belongs in its own repository, not in the product repo. It is ~8k lines of benchmarking tooling that downloads and installs competitor applications, drives their UIs, and carries its own fixtures. In here it would widen the CI surface, the review surface and the history for something that ships nothing to users — and the interesting question it answers (how OpenScreen's export time compares) does not need to live next to the exporter to be credible. Moving to a standalone repo with its full history intact. Nothing is lost. |
2 participants
Measures how long OpenScreen takes to turn a 60 s screen recording into a finished 1080p60 MP4, next to the apps it competes with — one clip, one edit, one stopwatch, verified in pixels.
benchmark/README.mdis the method;benchmark/REMOTE.mdcovers driving a run from a dispatched session.What the scenario actually exercises
A wallpaper the compositor samples per pixel, padding, corner radius, drop shadow, three zooms, motion blur, a cursor rendered from telemetry (themed sprite, smoothing, its own motion blur, click effects) and a webcam inset with mask and shadow.
The cursor matters most. Every app here hides the system pointer while recording and re-draws it at export time from a sidecar; a benchmark that bakes a fake cursor into the source exercises none of that. The trajectory is generated as data — eased glides between dwell points with clicks at the pauses — written in each app's own format, and the screen clip is left clean.
Nothing is shipped as a binary. The screen clip, the wallpaper, the webcam track and the cursor path all come from one seed, so two machines can prove they measured the same workload by comparing a hash.
How the numbers are kept honest
cursor.hide: false, and draws no pointer — full fidelity before the check existed,0.9withcursorcontradicted now.bench.mjs calibratesolves each app's control against measured output.Both new detectors were wrong first
Caught by running them against Kap and the ffmpeg floor, which draw neither a cursor nor a camera — both "passed". The cursor check had been comparing the pointer's window against the frame's static corners, so it was really asking "is this region busier than the edges". Thresholds are now calibrated against measured positives and negatives, and the raw ratios are recorded per run so the margin is auditable.
Automating apps that have no CLI
Only OpenScreen and Cap can be scripted the ordinary way. Screen Studio marks its editor
kCGWindowSharingNone— macOS excludes it from every capture API, so no screenshot and no pixel clicking — and it publishes no accessibility tree either; it and the other Electron apps are driven over CDP by element text, which reproduces better than coordinates. Camtasia has an AppleScript dictionary on macOS and a UI Automation tree on Windows. Every driver records which rung of that ladder it used.Platforms
A platform layer holds process sampling, hardware and power state, installation, and hardware-encoder selection. The measurement core is platform-independent on purpose.
The Windows drivers have not been run — no Windows machine was reachable from where they were written. Every lookup fails with the control names it did find attached, and
bench.mjs discover <app>dumps the real tree on the target machine. The Windows competitor set is better than the macOS one: Cap shipscap-cli.exeso it stays headless, Camtasia has a Batch Export, and FocuSee's Windows download is the real application rather than the downloader stub the Mac side gets.Measured on this Mac (M1, 8 GB, macOS 26.5)
Under an earlier, lighter scenario and with a remote session live, so read these as a shape rather than a verdict:
Two competitors are gated by their vendors rather than by the automation, and both are documented in place: Screen Studio needs an activated licence to export at all, and FocuSee 2.4.1 on macOS rejects every MP4 as "damaged", including real recordings.
