We are incredibly excited to introduce a way for you to use Medal with any recorder, not just our own. This means that if you clip with Shadowplay or OBS, you can still use Medal’s best-in-class editor and save space by uploading your finished clips directly to Medal.tv to save space on your hard drive.
If you decide to use a different recorder, we recommend turning the recorder in Medal off under Settings > Clips & Recording > Record with Medal.
Setting up your External Recorder
To get started, open your Medal app and go to Settings > Clips & Recording. In this section, find the External Recorders Import Locations and click on the Sync an External Recorder button.
On this page, select which external recorder you want to sync with. After selecting your recorders, click Save Changes. Please ensure that the folder is empty before assigning it.
Medal will automatically detect new clips when they are created or added to the selected recorder/folder. If you want to use a custom recorder that we don’t yet support, you can manually browse your computer and select the recorder's video folder.
Once assigned, you can move your clips in batches to make them visible in your clip library.
After setting up your recorders and creating new clips, you should now see the clips in your Medal library without needing to manually import them.
If you still need assistance with this, please contact Support.
