DragonSeer2 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi All, I am not talking about taking a single screen shot. I see lots of posts on youtube of in game footage. How is this done?I have tried running Skyrim in windowed mode and using Camtasia, but Skyrim does not function correctly with Camtasia. I have tried a couple of different capture codecs, but no joy. Is there a preferred method or software for generating game play footage from Skyrim? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Garon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm sure there are others, but I would suspect that most game videos are captured by FRAPS. The "free" version allows a 30 second recording for testing/checking things out. The paid version is, literally, what everyone I know uses to capture game vids.

DragonSeer2 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks I tried the demo and it worked for 30 seconds. Kind of weird that it only captures in game mode. You can't actually capture your screen as far as I can tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifteenspades Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Are you talking about like when someone is streaming the viewer can see everything the streamer does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OozyGorilla Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Fraps Dxtory MSI Afterburner There are a bunch of screen capturing programs out there. There are also add-in PCI cards for your computer that can capture screen footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Garon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Thanks I tried the demo and it worked for 30 seconds. Kind of weird that it only captures in game mode.

I'm sure someone else can answer your question if you are more specific about exactly what you want to record.
