Choose your workflowFor gamers

Find the good bits.
Make a clip.
Share it.

Turn the gameplay recordings you already have into a library. Find the moment, save it once, and export it whenever you need it.

Save the good bit as a slice. Pick its start and end, give it a name, and keep it in your library without duplicating the video.

Export a clip for your crew. Turn that slice into a separate video in source quality, VP9 or AV1. Share a landscape clip or go vertical.

Keep your favourite recorder. Your original files stay untouched.

02 / Save it without copying it

All the moments.
No duplicate videos.

Mark a start and an end, give the moment a name, and save a slice. Make as many moments as you need from the same recording.

No extra video storage.Slices remember where the moment is. They do not copy the video.

Only small library records are saved. Previews, optional proxies and exported clips still take storage space.

Keep the moment.
Skip the rest.

Mark where it starts and ends. Give it a name. Export just that bit as a landscape or portrait clip, ready to share wherever you like.

Saved moments are called slices. Keep them in your library to use again; export a video file only when you want one.

01 / Import your files

Same recordings. A much better view.

Start with the recording folders you already have. taperat adds them to your library without moving the files.

Scan your entire recording library at once, drag and drop recordings into your taperat folders, or let Recording Detection add them automatically as you record.

Browse in a grid or list, create your own folders and subfolders, and move recordings between them whenever you like. Organise your library your way.

Get taperat

A couple of good questions.

Does taperat record my gameplay?

No. Keep using OBS, ShadowPlay, or your favourite recorder. taperat helps you organise and use the videos they create.

Will it change my original recordings?

No. Your files stay where they are. Saved slices reference the moments you choose; exporting creates a separate clip.

Can I search what someone said?

Yes. Search your transcripts for a spoken line and jump straight to its moment.
