1. It is easy to adjust the record parameters (e.g. FPS, resolution, audio volume) to compress your game movie and get your designed
output. Please refer to FastCap's Video and Audio settings for more details.
2. FastCap will memorize your last settings and there's no need to reset the functions every time you want to record the gameplay.
Just press the preset hotkeys to finish recording your gameplay!

Save Path
Click the “Change” button to select a folder for your movies. The save path is the same as the directory in which you install FastCap in default.

Hotkeys to Start/Stop/Pause Recording
Type the keys in the boxes and click “Set” to assign the operative hotkeys. As you are playing games, press the “Start” hotkey (e.g. F8 in default) to start recording and press the “Stop” hotkey (e.g. F9 in default) to stop recording. Press the “Pause” hotkey (e.g. F8 in default) if you need to pause your recording and press the “Start” hotkey again (e.g. F8 in default) to restart it.

Buttons to Start/Pause/Stop Recording
You can also click the buttons at the bottom right of FastCap to Start/Pause/Stop recording besides using hotkeys.

Note:
You will find your recording saved in the defaulted folder or the newly set folder when you stop recording.

Tips: What is “Intelligent Pause”?
One of FastCap's unique features is its “Intelligent Pause” function. Pause FastCap (press the hotkeys or click the pause button on FastCap) if you do not want your gameplay to be recorded. Restart recording later. The segments of recording are smoothly connected with no interruption when you playback!

Video Setting

Frames per Second (FPS)
FastCap's default FPS is 30 under uncompression formats. FastCap supports FPS ranging from 5 to 40. Adjust FPS for your recording according to the system configuration of your PC.

Tips:
Normally, 10 to 30 FPS is perfect to generate smooth playback for your video.
Please keep in mind that higher FPS results in smoother playback but will increase the file size.

Video Resolution
FastCap Mini’s default video resolution is full screen, which is the resolution you set for your game.

Note:
Some of the options in the “Sound Volume” may not be adjusted since your PC system does not support them.
