The problem is that we don’t exactly know when to show the tray animation or a 3…2…1 countdown, since aperture takes a few seconds to start recording but it’s not always the same. We could show the 3…2…1 after aperture starts recording (currently that’s what we do for the tray icon) and then trim the first 3 seconds of the video? Otherwise we mind end up with part of that display in the resulting recording
