Tips

Adjust the bitrate according to your needs

Use a high bitrate of around 120k for your intense sessions to preserve maximum visual detail. If you are running low on local disk space, you can moderate this setting without losing overall fluidity.

Leverage fades for a pro look

Add audio and video fade-in and fade-out effects in the built-in editor to polish the beginnings and endings of your clips. These small touches greatly improve the perceived quality of your shares.

Monitor your Cloud storage quota

Keep an eye on the available space indicator on dedicated servers so you are never blocked during uploads. Remember to purge superfluous files if you are using the 2 GB free version.

Enable HDR for faithful colors

Don't forget to enable HDR and DolbyVision support in the options if your screen is compatible. Your recordings will thus faithfully transcribe the original lighting atmosphere of your games.

Clean up your clips before uploading

Use quick cutting tools to remove dead time at the beginning and end of your sequences before sending them online. You will thus save precious storage resources.

Are you encountering a technical issue during your captures or uploads? This troubleshooting section offers concrete solutions to quickly resolve common incidents.

Troubleshooting

⚠️ The keyboard shortcut does not trigger in-game recording
Check in the settings that the assigned key is not already used by your game. Reassign a unique key combination to avoid conflicts and relaunch the tool.
⚠️ Captured video colors appear washed out
Make sure HDR and DolbyVision support is correctly enabled in the application options. Also verify that your monitor supports these technologies to guarantee faithful color reproduction.
⚠️ Plugged-in controller is not recognized for captures
Confirm that your controller properly uses the XInput protocol supported by the software. Unplug and replug the controller, then refresh the peripheral configuration in the options.
⚠️ Upload to the Cloud server fails or freezes
Check your internet connection status as well as your available storage space. If you have reached the 2 GB limit of the free version, delete a few files or upgrade to the Premium offer.
⚠️ Fluidity drop observed during 4K recordings
Recording at 120 FPS with a massive 120k bitrate requires significant resources. Close heavy background applications and adjust the resolution if your hardware shows signs of weakness.
⚠️ Unable to apply fade effects in the editor
Verify that the selected sequence is long enough to support fade-in and fade-out effects. Try re-importing the clip into the editor if the original file turns out to be corrupted or incomplete.
⚠️ The various access points do not synchronize
Refresh your web browser page or restart the Windows application to force data updates. An active internet connection is required to maintain the link between interfaces.
⚠️ Exported video file is not played by external editing software
Verify that your third-party editor supports recent encoding formats, especially those from HDR captures. Update your editing software if necessary to guarantee optimal compatibility.
