nope, the "screencast" is to record the changes on the screen as
they happen, like putting a movie camera pointed at the screen. (including the
cursor if it happens to be in-shot)

As-written I don't think there's a way to have r.spread write out static images
per-iteration to encode later into a video from individual frames.
