It features the common ability to record in-game audio along with a microphone. It also supports a variety of recording resolutions, depending on the power of your rig, but the maximum is currently 7680×4800, which should be more than sufficient for practically anyone. Its user interface is most likely the simplest on this list. PROS: FRAPS is one of the most widely used game recording programs because of its ease of use, relatively low price-point, and age (it’s been around since 2004). It does not lack many features, it produces solid video quality with a relatively small file size, and it’s easy to use. It also lacks the ability to input multiple sources of audio, which is an unfortunate but common downside.ĬONCLUSION: Action! is a solid program at a solid price. This may make it a deal-breaker for some, since setting an exact frame rate can be helpful in improving gameplay fluidity when recording. The ‘Games’ setting provides an in-game overlay, showing FPS and other necessary data, while the other two will record your desktop of a section of it.ĬONS: The major downside of Action! is that it only records at 60 FPS and does not allow for the user to set a custom frame rate, instead requiring the user to pick between intervals of 5. Users can record using the following settings: Games, Active Desktop, or Active Desktop Region.
Action! can record directly to MP4 using AMD APP or Intel Quick Sync Video, greatly decreasing file size and saving data in Youtube’s recommended file type. It also allows the user to set custom screen resolutions and make audio adjustments relatively easy. Along with this, it has built-in live streaming tools, which greatly aid in that department. The user interface of Action! is extremely fluid and easy to use, separating video, audio, and live stream settings into different tabs. PROS: Action! is currently thought of as one of the best game recording programs on the market at an affordable price.
