How to create clips from a Full Session Recording

Modified on Sun, 24 Nov at 7:28 PM

Medal provides two distinct trimming methods: one for Full Session Recordings and another for individual Clips.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Full Session Recording Trimming

When recording a full session, you can utilize bookmarks to quickly navigate to key moments within the session. If you pressed your clip hotkey at any time during the recording, these bookmarks will appear on the session timeline, allowing you to easily jump to your points of interest.

Upon opening the trimming window for a Full Session Recording, you will be greeted with the following interface:

Within this window, you can click on each bookmark to navigate directly to your moments of interest. Additionally, you have the option to add new bookmarks using the Add Bookmark button.

With full session recording, you can create as many clips as you want from a single session.

Each clip can be up to 2 minutes long, or up to 10 minutes if you have Medal Premium.


Once you have created the desired clips from your session, you can exit the trimming menu by pressing the X button or by pressing ESC on your keyboard. Your new clips will then be ready for upload!
