Clips
Keeps the last few seconds of your game ready to save. Press the clip key and they are saved as a video in your clips folder. The first time you turn it on, the video encoder (FFmpeg, 115 MB) is downloaded once.

Versions1.8.9 and 1.21.11
Clips keeps the last few seconds of your game in memory. Press the clip key and they are saved as a video, without recording all the time.
Turning it on
- Sour Client menu, Client topic (or search for it from All).
- Flip the switch on its row. Click the row itself to open its settings beside the list.
- It has keys: Save Clip Key (F9), Clipping On/Off Key (not set), Start / Stop Recording Key (not set). Change them in this mod's settings or under Settings › Keybinds.
Good to know
The first time you turn it on, the video encoder (FFmpeg, about 115 MB) downloads once. Until it finishes, the clip key does nothing.
- Encoder: Auto uses your graphics card's video encoder when it has one, which costs the least FPS.
- A clip can only be as smooth as your game: at 150 FPS in game, a higher clip frame rate just repeats frames.
- Save To picks the profile's folder, your Windows Videos folder, or a folder you choose.
