With the introduction of the new ClassicUO client and it's Direct3D rendering engine, now Ultima Online looks better then ever with up to 250 fps. Here is a (hopefully) easy to understand tutorial of how to record your UO adventures using two free programs, then join, crop and edit the clips. This is a step forward from my old Record desktop guide where I talked about how to save screenshots.

Sooo, if you are interested in recording the windows desktop, your UO window, or a fullscreen 3D game and edit the clip a little bit, here is a PDF tutorial:

Here are some samples of how the end result can look like: https://tyrantilles.blogspot.com/2021/03/20210314ultima-online-outlands.html

Enjoy.

Correct, but with windows recorder your recording time is limited, you don't have options to set codecs, you can't record only an area of the screen and there are lots of other limitations. I don't know about razor, but that's interesting.
 
When I wanted to record my gameplay plus capture quick highlights or screenshots, I found most built-in options like Xbox Game Bar alright for basic stuff, but they get limited really fast. For editing or combining multiple clips, things just got clunky. I switched to more dedicated software since I often wanted to record only the game window, grab longer sessions, or just take quick screenshots with some markup for guides I make for friends.

If you’re ever trying to figure out how to screenshot on asus laptop or just looking for something a bit more flexible than the default tools, there are some solid guides online that are pretty helpful. Makes things way easier when you’re bouncing between recording gameplay and taking quick screen grabs for tutorials.
