Quality Settings
Fine-tune recording quality to balance file size and visual fidelity.
Frame Rate
Recorded supports two frame rate options:
- 30 FPS — The default option. Produces smooth recordings with smaller file sizes. Suitable for most tutorials, presentations, and documentation.
- 60 FPS — Double the frame rate for ultra-smooth motion. Ideal for recording fast-paced UI interactions, animations, games, or any content with rapid movement. Produces larger files.
Higher frame rates capture more detail in motion but increase file size and require more processing power during recording and export.
Resolution
Recorded captures at your display’s native resolution by default. During export, you can choose from several resolution options:
| Resolution | Dimensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 720p | 1280 x 720 | Compact files, good for web sharing |
| 1080p | 1920 x 1080 | Full HD — the default export resolution |
| 1440p | 2560 x 1440 | 2K — sharp detail for high-density displays |
| 4K | 3840 x 2160 | Ultra HD — maximum clarity |
| Original | Source resolution | Maintains the exact dimensions of the capture |
Performance Tips
- Close unnecessary applications before recording to free up CPU and memory resources.
- Use 30 FPS unless you specifically need the smoother motion of 60 FPS — it cuts file size roughly in half.
- Choose Monitor mode when possible — it is the most efficient capture mode on most systems.
- Ensure adequate disk space — recordings are saved as raw video files before encoding, so long recordings can temporarily use several gigabytes.
- Hardware acceleration is used automatically during export when a compatible GPU is detected, significantly reducing export time. See Hardware Acceleration for details.
