Software for Recording and Timing
6 years ago
Texas, USA

On Samsung S7, I use the native recording app, Game Screen Recorder, or DU Recorder to record my games. Each has its perks. However, Game Screen Recorder is the only one that I've seen that can record longer than one hour. For the timer, I use a simple app called floating timer. It can get in the way of your playing, so make sure its in a good spot before you start recording.

On Amazon Kindle, I use SmartPixel to record, upload to Facebook, download, and add a timer in a video editing software called ShotCut.

If you have a different way of recording and timing, please share! I'm particularly interested in what you use for iOS.

Hey Dig! Try using one of these:

  • The S7's Game Launcher's Game Tools' Recorder (that's a mouthful lol)
  • DU Recorder
  • Game Screen Recorder

Any of those three should work for recording without lag. However, since LiveSplit is currently a fullscreen mobile application meant for assisting with console or PC runs, I don't think you can run a mobile game with LiveSplit running on mobile as well.

To time, it might be best to use "Floating Timer" or an app like that over the game. Alternatively, you could open LiveSplit on your computer and split as you play.

It might be good to come together as a community and ask LiveSplit to make an app that can be used during mobile speedruns. I submitted this on their idea page -- it would be awesome if we could get it upvoted!
