What it does

Record and cut a short showcase video of a game mod, or a compilation of clips, ready to post on X/YouTube. Records the game window with only the game's own audio, picks moments from contact sheets, and edits with one-line animated titles, creator credits, transitions, music, watermark and fade-out via an EDL JSON. Use when the user wants a demo video, trailer, clip or montage of a mod, or wants to combine existing clips into a styled video.

Showcase video

A mod isn't finished until you can show it in 30 seconds. The toolchain is um win record (capture), um video contact (look), um video compile (edit), all ffmpeg + Pillow.

1. Make the take repeatable

  • Script the action. Use a mod-side timeline or command sequence (spawn enemies, fire the weapon, cue the boss), a scenario with triggers and camera moves, or a WinDrive command list. The first clean take should be reproducible exactly, so you can reshoot after a fix.
  • Restore the world before each take. Explosions crater worlds; units die. Keep a pristine copy with um backup and restore it every take.
  • Clean frame. Hide debug text, fix the camera zoom (the Terraria showcase used 1.5x so 1080p frames read like a 720p cut), run at full speed when unfocused, and hide the cursor (capture uses capture_cursor=0).
