As for OBS and MKV/MP4. there's a feature called "Remux" where you can convert MKV to MP4. I use it all the time. super fast. You can find it under "File/Remux Recordings"

But yeah, the video feature in Godot is great.

Currently we don't support direct uploaded videos on the forum I'm afraid. This is however something that's being looked at. So for now you would need to embed the video from another source (like YouTube, Vimeo etc. ).

    Related to this, what's the usual workflow to create gifs from your game? Do you record it with Movie Writer and then use an external tool to turn it into a gif or is there a better/simpler way?

      Catalin Personally I use the Instant Replay feature that comes with Geforce Experience. Not sure what it's called. But the quality is great.

        Back in the blessed old days of W7, I used to use a wonderful program called VirtualDub to record, process and convert videos to .gif. The second version is out now.

        On W11 I'm experimenting with OBS and Shotcut. But I will probably go back to VD2. For those options that will be unavailable in Godot. By the way, GIMP 2 can manipulate (compress and crop) anim .gifs.

        I try not to use spyware if possible.

          Toxe You are using Windows 11 though.

          Yep. And there is a difference: disable tracking in only one program (even if it's a system) and specifically install spyware with several others. 🔍

          My plan is to switch to Win LTSB when I get stability in this changing world with a permanent residence and an real estate workstation. 🏘️

          MikeCL Thank you, wish i knew that, would have saved me hours

          correojon it's a free website (ezgif.com) i upload there all the images then it does everything, speed size etc

          Toxe I install the driver then i delete everything. I don't like that it opens so many containers/processes in the background. And i don't fancy things capturing anything 24/7 on my pc

            You can start/stop capture manually and disable it when you don't want to use it.

              Toxe It's always running in like 6 processes in the background, monitoring the games you are playing for optimizations and the overlay for screen capture

                correojon i use peek. yes it's deprecated, but it takes 0.51 brain cells to use, and that's a rare feature in the open source world. my only complaint is the GUI is ugly as sin, and another reasonable complaint is it doesn't support windows. if you're cool, the second problem is a non-issue.

                i am open to (non-deprecated) alternatives (for linux systems).
