Output video

By default, the program records your video with settings that should work well in most cases. However, in the Game mode you can set your recorded video's properties before starting the recording.

 

Step 1:

Go to the Video tab in the main window.

 

Step 2:

Check the following settings:

 

The frame size or resolution determines the video's width and height in pixels. Open the Resolution list to select from the most common resolutions. Ideally, the frame size should match the resolution of the game you are capturing (so the default value is Original). Smaller resolutions allow you to make the output video smaller and thus save your disc space, however, this will sacrifice some video quality due to downscaling.

 

Frame rate is the number of shots the camera takes each second. Higher frame rates will make the movements look smoother and work best for videos with a lot of motion. If the picture is mostly static, you can decrease frame rate to save disk space. The default frame rate is 30 frames per second.

 

Click the Advanced button to open some extra settings on the Video tab in Preferences.
