Clipping Guide ​

Horizon RP (as well as most other roleplay servers) heavily recommends using some form of game clipping software while you play. Clipping software is easy to set up and is useful in the event that you need to open a support ticket.

There are multiple options for clipping software, use whatever works best for you.

Using Medal (easiest) ​

Medal is a popular and easy-to-use clipping software that makes it pretty easy to capture and share clips from Unturned.

  1. Go to Medal's website

  2. Click Download for Windows (or whatever OS you use)

  3. Open the installer

  4. Wait for Medal to install

  5. Sign in to Medal

  6. Select Clipping Games (Default)

    Strongly recommended to change your clip duration here.

    • Minimum: 1 minute
    • Recommended: 2-3 minutes

  7. Set Recording Quality

    Quality doesn't matter much for our purposes so you can probably use Standard. Using anything higher than High Quality is usually a waste of torage.

  8. Select Record Microphone in Clips

    For capturing roleplay situations, it's pretty much essential to have your microphone enabled in clips. Most clips won't be accepted in tickets if you do not have your mic enabled.

  9. Set Up Audio

    This one is mostly up to personal perference, but if you're not sure then select Record Only Game Audio. That way your clip will show what's going on in-game without any added noise.

  10. Pick a Clipping Hotkey

    Here's the important part, the clipping hotkey. If you're not sure, just stick with the default. This is the hotkey you'll press when you want to save a clip of what just happened in-game.

    Default: F8

  11. Done

    Now whenever you want to save a clip in-game, use the hotkey you set from above. You can view your clips at any time by opening Medal.

Using NVIDIA App ​

If you have a NVIDIA graphics card and you either don't want to deal with Medal or you want the best FPS possible, the NVIDIA App is your best option. It replaces GeForce Experience and doesn't require signing into an account.

  1. Go to NVIDIA's website

  2. Click Download Now

  3. Open the installer

  4. Wait for NVIDIA App to install

  5. Enable NVIDIA overlay

    The NVIDIA overlay is pretty light and doesn't get in the way. It's needed for enabling Instant Replay which will be used for saving clips from the game.

  6. Press Alt+Z

  7. Select Instant Replay

  8. Turn on Instant Replay

  9. Done

    You're all set. Whenever you want to save a clip, use Alt+F10 to save a clip of what just happened in-game.

    Clips are stored in C:\Users\<your_username>\Videos\NVIDIA by default.

Using OBS Studio ​

OBS Studio is a popular program for recording and streaming but can save clips too. Using OBS for clips probably only makes sense if you are livestreaming on the server or just like tweaking settings (like me).

I'm going to assume you already have OBS installed.

  1. Open OBS Studio

  2. Click Settings

  3. Click Output

  4. Enable Replay Buffer

    Adjust the duration and max memory settings as desired.

  5. Click OK to Save

  6. Done

    You can configure a hotkey to save the replay buffer in OBS. Alternatively, you can tab into OBS and click a button to save the replay buffer instead.

Trimming Clips ​

Often times you will want to trim down a clip to make it easier to share. There's a not-so-well-known trick on Windows that makes this insanely easy, so here's how to do it:

  1. Right-click the file

  2. Click Open With -> Photos

  3. Click Trim
