I am not sure why Kdenlive does not like Kazam recorder desktops, but I am now trying OBS and it seems to work.

My TinyPICO from @unespectedmaker arrived and I wanted to take a quick look at it. It is a very nice build quality and form factor. The Play Shield makes a very nice compact platform for prototyping and having built in battery management is a big plus. Highly recommended.

TinyPICO website: https://www.tinypico.com/
Latest MicroPython: http://micropython.org/download

If you have never used MicroPython the Adafruit guide is great, and here is a link to a video that Tony DiCola did at Adafruit https://youtu.be/hrjtAYMrxF4. It does a good walkthrough of using MicroPython with all the links you will need to get up and running.
