Movie Recorder properties
The Movie Recorder generates videos in the H.264 MP4, VP9 WebM, or ProRes QuickTime format. It does not support variable frame rates.
This page covers all properties specific to the Movie Recorder type.
Note: To fully configure any Recorder, you must also set the general recording properties according to the recording interface you are using: the Recorder window or a Recorder Clip.
The Movie Recorder properties fall into three main categories:
Capture
Use this section to define the source and the content of your recording.
| Property | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Specifies the input for the recording. | |
| Game View | Records frames rendered in the Game View. Selecting this option displays the Game View capture properties. |
|
| Targeted Camera | Records frames captured by a specific camera, even if the Game View does not use that camera. Selecting this option displays the Targeted Camera capture properties. |
|
| 360 View | Records a 360-degree video. Selecting this option displays the 360 View capture properties. |
|
| Render Texture Asset | Records frames rendered in a Render Texture. Selecting this option displays the Render Texture Asset capture properties. |
|
| Texture Sampling | Supersamples the source camera during the capture to generate anti-aliased images in the recording. Selecting this option displays the Texture Sampling capture properties. |
|
| Flip Vertical | When you enable this option, the Recorder flips the output image vertically. This is useful to correct for systems that output video upside down. This option is not available when you record the Game View. |
|
| Include Audio | Enable this option to include audio in the recording. |
