Quality
Why text looks sharper in a Screenix export
Tab frames are captured as maximum-quality JPEGs. Measured on a page of small text against a lossless screenshot, that's near lossless, where the more common quality 90 visibly softens letters.
Exports use constant quality rather than a fixed bitrate where Chrome supports it. Fixed-bitrate encoders tend to starve dark, detailed pages, which leaves blocky trails behind moving windows. AV1 at constant quality is the default because it keeps both detail and file size in check.
