Comment 1 David G. 2024-06-21 19:39:05 UTC 
This is now fixed. I don't know when the issue disappeared, but it is not present anymore in Spectacle 24.05.1.
Comment 2 Jed 2024-09-08 12:43:59 UTC 
I am experiencing this problem with Spectacle v24.08.0
When the format is set to "MP4/H.264", after stopping recording  I get

Error -- Spectacle
Failed to export video: Temporary file URL must be an existing local file

This does not happen when the format is WebM/VP9

That's actually a different issue; see Bug 485733.
