No, not tears, but rather visual glitches, or seams, between screen updates. It's explained and illustrated well in this Wikipedia article.
While tearing can occur in Capture in both Windows and macOS, it is a lot more prevalent on Windows - and particularly after the last Windows update 24H2 in the fall last year. Microsoft made some architectural changes there that hit Capture hard.
While we just released Capture 2025, we wanted to let you know that we are currently working on some improvements for a 2025.1 update that we're hoping to release in the next few weeks.
One of these improvements will be trying to reduce tearing as much as possible, if not completely.
In the meanwhile, you may be able to reduce the tearing on Windows by adjusting the settings of your video card drivers, likely in a VSync-related option.
