how can i confirm that i have installed rosetta 2 successfully

I have an app (video capture) that suggests it can run on my mac (os x 10.6.8 or later). I have a new Macbook Pro M1. Install did not work out of box and research suggests running rosetta 2 to fix compatibility issues with M1 vs. Intel chip. I ran the following script: "/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license". I continue to have problems. How can i confirm that i have installed rosetta 2 successfully?

Is your app running?


If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861


Rosetta 2 works with Intel-based apps distributed through the Mac App Store, and desktop applications downloaded and installed from external sources.



To the user, Rosetta is mostly transparent. If an executable contains only Intel instructions, macOS automatically launches Rosetta and begins the translation process.


When launching any Mac apps for the first time on Apple Silicon Macs, the apps will bounce in the dock for approximately 20 seconds while the Rosetta 2 translation process is completed, with all subsequent launches being fast.


Command i opens the information pane:
