Built for gameplay capture

Record the game, your voice, and your face — on your own switches

Where it helps

Full-screen capture takes the whole display

A full-screen session occupies the entire display, and the full-screen capture source takes exactly that — the whole screen, not a window border that clips the edge of the action.

full-screen capture

The session's sound and your voice are two separate switches

What the screen is playing and what you're saying into the microphone are set independently, so either can be turned up, down, or off for a take without touching the other.

The graphics hardware does the encoding work

The recording is handed to the graphics hardware for hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding, rather than leaning on the CPU alone to keep up while a full-screen session is also running.

The widget you're clicking never ends up in the footage

The always-on-top control you start and stop the recording from excludes itself from every capture it makes, so the finished clip never shows the button you clicked to make it.

Full screen as the source, the two sound switches set independently, and the camera switch — all set before you press record.

How it works

01

Set the source to the full screen

Point the recorder at the whole display rather than a single window, so nothing at the edge of the session gets clipped out.

02

Switch on the session's sound, and the microphone if you're narrating

Turn on system audio to capture what the screen is playing, and separately turn on the microphone if commentary is part of the take.

Switch on the camera if you want a facecam

The webcam is its own switch, on or off, independent of whichever audio switches are set.

04

Record the session

Press record and the take saves as MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, encoded on the graphics hardware.

Questions

Can it capture a full-screen session?

Yes — the full-screen capture source takes the entire display, which is what a full-screen session occupies.

Are the session's sound and my microphone captured as separate switches?

Yes — system audio and the microphone are independent switches, so either can be set without changing the other.

Is the video encoded using the graphics hardware?

Yes — recording uses hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding rather than encoding done entirely in software.

Does the recorder's own control widget show up in the video?

No — the floating widget excludes itself from every capture and recording it makes, so it never appears in the result.

What file does a recording come out as?

MP4, with H.264 video and AAC audio — a standard format that opens in any player without converting it first.
