Game clips with a replay buffer

Make a clip (Ctrl+F9)

In-game, press Ctrl+F9 (the default shortcut) to keep the last few seconds. You can also click “Keep the moment” in the capture capsule at the top.

An anti-spam guard prevents double triggers: a quick double press only creates one clip. Capture must be active (a game detected) for Ctrl+F9 to work.

The rolling buffer — react after the fact

While a game is being captured, a rolling buffer keeps recent video in temporary files. Save a clip to keep the action that just happened.

The buffer is bounded and reuses its temporary storage. Only clips you save or automatic moments you enable are kept in your library.

Set a clip’s length

1. Go to Settings → Video.
2. In the “Manual clips: length” section: pick 30 sec, 1 min or 1:40.

The length of automatic clips (triple, ace, pentakill…) is set by the action and isn’t configurable.

The confirmation sound

A small sound confirms that a clip was kept. You choose which one.

1. Go to Settings → Video, “Confirmation sound” section.
2. Click a variant to hear it (Whoosh, Tap, Ping…) and select it.
3. Or click “Import a sound… (wav, mp3, ogg)” to use your own.

Where my clips go

Your clips appear in the Moments tab. On disk, they’re stored by default in Videos\Momento — the location is changeable in Settings → Storage.
