Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc… is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?
Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)
My favourite tool is GPU Screen Recorder - https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/
This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by recording your monitor using the GPU only, similar to shadowplay on windows. This is the fastest screen recording tool for Linux.
It works with AMD, Intel and Nvidia GPUs. It is also the one that performs better. Official repos AUR or Flatpak, or you can install from the source above. The flatpak already comes with the UI gtk https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder-gtk/
Other tools I used were OBS and Steam - you can enable Steam to record your games in the Settings > Game Recording > Record in Background
OBS was very laggy for me.
OBS was very laggy for me.
I think OBS does not do hardware acceleration by default, I needed to go into advanced settings to get it to work smoothly
Oh thats right, if totally forgot Steam launched their own tool for this - Will try that out :)
Steam introduced gameplay recording this year and it works very well. Kinda annoying to use though since you must add markers for the clips you want to save then go back later after you’re done and clip them from the 2 hour recording period.
Good to know thanks! Hopefully it will become more seamless over time :)
I think OBS?
I can’t confirm it right now but it looks like it can: https://jp9000.github.io/OBS/features/replay.html
This link looks like it’s one of those fake OBS websites? This is at least not the official website.
It’s a guide for it, I checked on windows and it supports it, you have to go into the settings and enable it.
here’s something more official: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-setup-instant-replay-in-obs-studio.613/
GNOME has built in screen recorder, you can preset the record duration
Some further investigation lead me to ReplaySorcery; https://github.com/matanui159/ReplaySorcery However, it is a couple of years old now, no update this 2021.
