- Highlight triggers for deaths, combat, elytra flight and danger moments.
- Simple controls from the pause menu and options screen.
Shoot it like a film
Plain screen recordings lock you to the camera you had while playing. Flash Replay lets you capture the moment first and direct it after.
- Camera rigs for dolly, push-in, crane, orbit, dolly zoom and constant-speed moves.
- Subject framing modes for clean action shots.
- Timeline keyframes with smooth interpolation curves.
- Project, scene, shot and take organization for bigger edits.
Stage actors inside the replay
Turn replay entities into directable performers for thumbnails, machinima shots, fight scenes and cinematic storytelling.
- Pose actors bone-by-bone.
- Equip and group performers.
- Save performance clips and replay them on cue.
- Batch stills for character sheets and thumbnails.
Build the look in the tool
Flash Replay is not only about recording. It is about making the final shot look intentional.
- Keyframe FOV, fog, time of day, weather and camera shake.
- Use speed changes, slow motion and freeze moments.
- Grade exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature and tint.
- Frame with rule-of-thirds, safe frame and letterbox guides.
Export clips ready to post
Render your replay into the formats creators and editors actually use.
- H.264, HEVC, ProRes and GIF workflows.
- PNG sequences, batch stills and single-frame screenshots.
- SSAA anti-aliasing and transparent-sky export options.
- Audio bus controls for game, voice and scene audio.
- Shader-friendly export workflows.
Simple first, deep when needed
Flash Replay is designed to be useful in the first two minutes and still powerful when the edit gets serious.
- Simple: Save Last, quick replay, one-click export.
- Director: camera rigs, shots, keyframes and Looks.
- Pro: curves, actors, batch tools and full export settings.
