Just using Kazam to record my desktop. Did a few things with the desktop, then chose "Finish Recording"

That caused a crash report.

Noticed the leading '/' on the error, the saving directory is set to "Videos" Which should be ~/Videos

[Lisa Nelson (lisa50469)]

Set the saving path to /tmp and it seemed to work, but no video is in /tmp.

[Lisa Nelson (lisa50469)]

Strange; now that I set the path to /tmp, I get the videos in ~/Videos
I was left with just .movie files, but after changing the format to RAW, I get the converted .avi files.

Strange... I can't seem to reproduces this. Could you post the contents of ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf
