In today’s article, I’ll explain how to use this clipping software, which is suitable not only for Fortnite but for any game. Below are timestamps to help you navigate the content quickly, and I aim to keep this tutorial concise, especially since my primary focus is Fortnite.

Downloading Outplayed

Downloading Outplayed is straightforward. You can find the link in the description below.

Visit the website and click the download button in the top right corner.
Once the file appears at the bottom left, click on it and choose "Yes" when prompted.
Select your preferred language and click "Next."
You can choose where the software will install; I prefer my hard drive due to limited SSD space.
Make sure to accept the terms by checking the box and click "Next."
After installation, click "Launch."
Navigate to the store and search for Outplayed to install it. It should auto-launch or be found in your library in Overwolf.

Setting Up Outplayed

Step 1: Choose Your Game

Simply select the game you wish to record or clip. For instance, choose Fortnite or search for other games like Apex Legends.

Step 2: Video Capture Settings

This section allows you to adjust video resolution, FPS, quality, and encoder settings.
Depending on your PC's capabilities, choose from low, medium, high, or custom settings:
- Medium is usually a safe start, offering good quality while being performance-friendly.
- If your PC is low-end, stick with low or medium; if decent, try medium to high.
- For custom settings, balance your resolution, FPS, and bitrate according to your needs. I recommend starting with 1080p and testing from there.

Step 3: Advanced Settings

Choose your encoder (CPU or GPU). If your CPU is stronger, select x264 for better results.
Adjust the preset according to your needs; faster presets consume fewer resources but may lower quality.

Audio Settings

Set your game’s audio and your microphone levels. It’s worth noting that noise cancellation options aren’t available, so it may capture background noise.

Storage Management

Choose "manual manage" for better control over where your clips save. Specify the folder location of your choice.

Hotkeys and Clip Duration

Set up your hotkeys to start recording. I suggest using "manual" mode to have control over what you record.
Adjust clip duration settings to determine how long of a clip is captured when you start recording.

Finally, remember to test your settings in-game. You’ll want to monitor for lag and adjust video settings accordingly.
