    Thanks for the report!

    This looks related to #1450 (also CachyOS on Wayland). To narrow it down, could you share:

    1. The OpenScreen version and how you installed it (AppImage, pacman, Nix…).
    2. Your display resolution and scaling factor in niri.
    3. The export settings you used (resolution and quality preset).
    4. Whether the blur shows on the whole video or only on zoomed-in parts.
    5. If possible, the ffprobe output of the exported file.

    1. pacman, download from release build
    2. 1920x1080
    3. default
    4. whole video when screen animation happens

    (Please ignore the microphone sound; I just grabbed the first one I found):
