Under the NVENC tab, set the Preset to slow (High quality 2 passes) and the Bitrate to 3500 (you can go higher for better quality, but file sizes will increase)ĪFTER all the above is set up, check Use custom commands and locate the part where it says -pix_fmt yuv420p and replace exactly and only that part (preserving the spaces on either side) with the following:

For NVENC-capable GPU users (basically NVIDIA cards that aren't too old) I suggest using NVENC like so :.

Set Video source to screen-capture-recorder (if you don't see it, click Install recorder devices) and Audio source to none.Īudio codec doesn't matter, but I have mine on AAC with the bitrate set to minimum (there's no audio anyway). Open Screen Recording Options and make sure you have FFmpeg available (if not, hit the Download button). Go to Task Settings -> Screen Recorder and set Screen Recording FPS to 30 (you can use 60 in the latest version too, but I suggest trying 30 first) I suggest making a Gfycat account and linking it up as well, since then it'll keep all your captures in your account. No audio, but it's meant to replace GIFs so that's okįor easy sharing, select Gfycat as file uploader and enable Copy URL to clipboard in After upload tasks.

It has decent file sizes (about 7MB for a 15-second gameplay clip) It automatically scales down captures (if needed) You can easily share a short capture of your screen, custom region, window etc. Of course it's good for any quick screen capture that you'd use Gyazo for. I would play back gameplay footage, then grab a section with ShareX, and the results looks like this.

I use this a lot to quickly share short clips from higher bitrate recordings for example. It produces much smaller files than GIFs too. It needed a lot of tweaking and custom FFmpeg flags, but I have something that works very well, so I thought I'd share it.

I wanted ShareX to do the same thing, to finally replace Gyazo.

If you capture your entire screen, it might be scaled down a lot, but a smaller region might not be. What Gyazo also does is it resizes your capture. So I've been using Gyazo for a long time because of its ability to select a screen region, record a short video/gif, then have a link to it ready on my clipboard.
