OBS is much more aimed at livestreaming to platforms like Twitch and managing multiple cameras incl one of you, one of your screen etc. Well beyond what Cap is for.
But yes, use the most specialized tool for the task at hand.
I tried a bunch of "open" tools last week, but turns out they are a paid tool in disguise most of the time. I eventually paid for CleanShotX for my work and have peace of mind because it just works. OBS is IMO much more stable and aimed at live streaming anyway.
ShareX has been around for ever but just updated the UI and now super easy to do capture work with annotations and cam output etc (no studio but it's light weight)
btw I use OBS virtual camera its one of my fav features with masking etc for a video avatar vlogger effect
Cap completely ate several recordings for me. Admittedly they were over an hour long, and I should’ve broken them up a bit, and perhaps it’s not what it’s used for. Switched back to OBS, while it’s not as easy to use it’s pretty reliable

Why are the binary releases hosted on a 3rd party site and not on Github?
So they can see how many people download each binary
'download_count' is part of the REST API https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/assets
I rest my case then.
I'm not sure that means what you think it means
Ba dum tschhttp
Marketing.

Cap routinely fails to render videos properly. The mouse ends up way off where it was, overlays somehow fail to be rendered.
Even if the preview player shows it correct, once it's rendered the cursor just seems to drift way off making the video useless.
I've gone back to using QuickTime.
