Mac, Windows and Linux differences

Editing, graphics, captions, voice, music, export and the agent tools work the same everywhere. A few features use macOS frameworks and are Mac-only for now: cutting people and objects out of pictures, searching shots by what they show (on-device vision), and the pointer effects on screen recordings made in Cue.
