"Only record video while pressing..."

Tue Apr 10, 2012 10:07 pm

Hi Bandicam staff,

I had an idea for a feature that could be used to trim the length of videos by removing footage where nothing interesting is happening (for example if the player has died and is waiting to respawn). It has a big potential for use in gaming video but could also have potential in other recording purposes.

Consider it an augmentation to the pause button: when you are pressing down the button of choice (usually Mouse1 for most gamers) it will be recording video as normal. However when you let go of the button it could either pause automatically or record a few more seconds (a configurable amount, ideally) before pausing. This could allow people to, say, quickly capture frag clips without the uninteresting "running back to the battle" footage.

This suggestion was inspired by a similar feature in a program called Overwolf, however their implementation seems poorly made... here is an example from their own channel:

And here is an example from my channel (the only thing I have done to it is converting it to a compressed format for uploading):

With Bandicam's recording improvements, I can see the usefulness in recording frag videos or simply "abridged" gameplay videos. I hope you will consider this for a future version. :)

Hello!

We understand your requirement.

We will consider it in the future.
(However, we are not sure we will add this feature or not)

Thank you for suggesting.
