Software for Recording and Timing
6 years ago

On Samsung S7, I use the native recording app and sometimes DU Recorder to record my games. Each has its perks. 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. I'm not sure if this specific game is on that device, though.

If you have a different way of recording and timing, please share!

Hey! I'm going to ask some iOS runners how they do timing -- I'll be back.

Edit: It looks like most iOS users use a video editor to put a timer over their video. They download something like this and throw it in the corner:

I know that can be time consuming but its better than rerecording and splitting. I generally use a program called ShotCut to do timer editing, although there are tons of options out there.

https://www.shotcut.org/download/ In ShotCut, I use the "Crop" and "Size and Position" filters on the timer to overlay it on the gameplay. Here's an example of what it'll look like: https://www.speedrun.com/run/mekv27qm

I see... thanks for telling me that. I think the best thing would be for you to upload and submit your runs without a timer. I can then download them and time them accurately. Would that work for you?

Sure, I'll try to find time to do it this week :)

Here's your video: Please download it and reupload it on your channel.

Sure try it -- Let's see what that looks like! I'll let you know if it works. You may need to screen record while using Movavi Clips and show exactly how you get the timing. That might work better :)

Nice -- I like it! I ¤do¤ wish that it was more accurate (because your final time is somewhere between 14.0 and 14.1), but this works well for now. Notice how I put the comments and your second video in the comment box. Submit like this in the future and the videos will be aligned correctly :)

By the way, what app are you using to record your screen? I want to add it to the resources section.

Hey Kimotho -- check out how I edited your killstreak run. You should submit with two videos like that :)
