Clipping Software

When it comes to clipping your game, there are a variety of options available to you. If you already have your preferred method, feel free to skip to the next section about editing. The two clipping software programs in this guide are NVIDIA Instant Replay and Medal.

Nvidia Instant Replay

This option is only available to those with NVIDIA cards and allows you to clip up to 20 minutes of your gameplay on demand. Setting it up is simple: all you have to do is make sure you have GeForce Experience installed, then press ALT + Z to bring up the overlay menu. From there, click on instant replay and turn it on. To edit settings, such as where the videos are saved, enter the NVIDIA overlay again and press the settings icon (the small gear under the gallery icon). Then, click on "Recordings" and change where videos are saved. To edit details about Instant Replay, such as length or video quality/bitrate, open the NVIDIA overlay, click on Instant Replay, and then select "Settings." To clip something that just happened in your game all you have to do is press Alt + z then save or you can change the original Alt+F10 keybind in nvidia's keybind settings

Steam Replay

This option is available to all of us since we all use Steam to play Arma 3! To set it up, simply go to your Steam settings, then click on Game Recording. Here, you will be presented with three options: Recording Off, Record in Background, and Record Manually. If you want a Medal/NVIDIA Replay-style system, Record in Background is what you're looking for! Select Record in Background, then set a keybind to record the last X amount of seconds. Then, you can scroll down and set game-specific settings and choose how long you want to record for in the temporary storage, and what quality you want the recording to be. Then, if you scroll down a little more, you can play around with settings like framerate and encoding. I recommend for Olympus a minimum of 5–10 minutes for the clipping part, and a 15–25 minute recording for the temporary part. It is also important to make sure your microphone and audio are set up properly at the bottom of the page.

OBS Replay Buffer

OBS is a little more complex when it comes to setting up every time you play, as you have to make sure it's running and the Replay Buffer is recording. While it is more complex, it offers options that the other methods above don't, like the ability to split in-game and Discord audio for reports or if you want to record in higher quality. Setting up is fairly simple: you just download OBS, then go to Settings and go to the Output tab, scroll down to the bottom, and click the checkmark on Replay Buffer. You can then decide how much time the replay will buffer and how much memory it will take up. Replay Buffer uses your OBS Video and Output settings, so it's important to set those up as well. To make a keybind for options like push-to-talk or a clipping keybind, you simply go to the Hotkeys tab, search for the hotkey you want, then apply it and press OK. Once you have everything set up, you'll want to make a scene and add a source. If you play in fullscreen, Game Capture works, but if you don't, you can use Screen Capture if you don't want to capture your desktop.I recommend for Olympus a minimum of 5–10 minutes for the clipping and reports. It is also important to make sure your microphone and audio are set up properly at the bottom of the page.

Medal TV

Medal is another excellent option for recording your gameplay if you don’t have an NVIDIA graphics card. Setting up Medal is quite easy, as, like Instant Replay, it allows you to record up to 20 minutes of 1080p 60 FPS gameplay. A downside of Medal, though, is that it only allows you to upload 5-minute clips, which in some situations may not meet our evidence guidelines. However, don’t worry—since your clips are saved to your storage device, you can use third-party editing software and upload them to YouTube. To change any settings related to clipping, click "Settings" and go to the "Clips and Recording" tab. From there, you can adjust your clip length, set the keybind to clip your gameplay, and choose where to save your clips.

Editing Software

Davinci Resolve 18

This editing software is free and easy to use, making it a great choice for simple editing tasks. To edit clips, first open the software, create a new project, and drag your clip from either your medal or instant replay folder to your timeline. It's easy to use: just scroll to the point where you want your clip to start, right-click, and select "Split" to cut the clip and delete the part you no longer need. Then, continue to where you want it to end, click "Split" again, and repeat the steps you did at the beginning and then your clip is edited!

To export your clip, go to the "Deliver" tab in DR18, name your clip, and, if desired, change the format to MP4. Then, click "Add to Render Queue" and select "Render All."

Uploading Sites

YouTube

Uploading to YouTube is a simple process. Just make sure you're signed into an account you're comfortable with others finding, as evidence used in bans are provided to those who get banned. First, click "Create," then upload the video. Drag in the video you just exported from DR18 or any other software you may have used, click "Next," and choose either "Unlisted" or "Public." Finally, copy the link and include it in your support request.

Uploading to Medal is also simple, as you can edit clips directly using the Medal editor. Once you're done editing, click "Next," choose the visibility setting (either public or private), then copy the link and include it in your support request.
