How to Record AION Classic with DOR: Official Guide (2026)

AION Classic records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI takes it from there. By the time you pick Elyos or Asmodian on the character screen, DOR has already detected the game and keeps recording until you log out. AION Classic brings together players who want the feel of early AION again, so memorable scenes stack up stage by stage as your character grows: the first day you spread your wings, the first dungeon you cleared with a party, the first time you entered the Abyss and met the other faction. This guide covers recording AION Classic with DOR in order: getting ready, checking recording, saving Abyss fights and enchants, finding scenes, building a Legion record video and sharing links.

• Keep hours of leveling and party dungeons in one video, from login to logout.
• Save an air fight over the Abyss, an Assassin stealth ambush or the moment right before an enchant lands as separate clips.
• Use AI Voice Notes to find raid calls like 'Asmo party in the Abyss, gain altitude' and review how a fortress siege played out.
• Join the Legion fortress rally and the Fire Temple boss clear into a Legion record video with AI Highlight.
• Send an Abyss fight to your Legion group chat or Discord with a single dor.gg link.

Before you record AION Classic: install and recording mode

AION Classic is light on hardware, so getting ready to record is simple. DOR is a free Windows app and never puts a watermark on your videos. AION Classic uses full session recording, which means grinding, dungeons, the Abyss and fortress sieges stay in one video until you log out. Leveling sessions often run for hours, so read recording long gameplay without stutter ahead of time for stable long recordings. Whichever server you log into, the game is detected the same way and recorded the same way. The table below lists what to know for AION Classic.

Record AION Classic with DOR: step by step

1. 1Install DORDownload DOR, install it and leave it running. It is free, and once it is installed there is nothing to prepare each time you log into AION Classic. Install it before siege day and the rally is on record too.
2. 2Launch AION ClassicStart AION Classic on your Windows PC. By the time the character screen appears, DOR has already detected the game and started recording. Elyos and Asmodian characters are recorded the same way.
3. 3Check recording before you head outBefore you leave town, check the DOR app once to confirm recording is in progress. If it is not picked up, follow what to do when the recorder does not detect your game. After that, fly around with your wings out or head into a dungeon without thinking about it.
4. 4Clip Abyss fights and enchants right awayWhen you take down an Asmodian party in the Abyss or an enchant result appears, press the clip save shortcut right away. That moment is saved as its own clip among hours of grinding footage, so it is easy to find later.
5. 5Log out and open My ClipsWhen you finish for the day and close the game, the full session video and every clip you saved appear together in My Clips in the DOR app. The day you ran your first dungeon and the day you first entered the Abyss sit in separate sessions, which makes a progression video easy to build.

Find your recordings

Open your recordings from My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you log in and close AION Classic becomes one session, and anything you grabbed with the clip save shortcut shows up as its own clip. Dungeons and the Abyss have loading screens when you move in or out, so skimming the progress bar shows where each one begins. For flight scenes, use the moment your character spreads its wings and lifts off the ground as the reference point. Trim fortress siege scenes from a few seconds before the fight starts, where the first call is heard, so your Legion can recall how the day unfolded. Set a start and an end, trim, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1; the walkthrough is in how to trim game clips. Like the videos from days your character reached a new stage, such as your first trip into the Abyss. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first, so liked records stay put.

Save the moments you want to keep

Even with the whole session recorded, moments that pass in seconds are safest clipped on the spot. Press the clip save shortcut and the last stretch of play is saved as a clip. The default length is 30 seconds, and you can choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds in settings. Good times to press it in AION Classic are right after you win an air fight over the Abyss, right after an Assassin stealth ambush lands, right after you clear the Fire Temple boss, and right after an enchant result appears. An enchant fits in 15 seconds including the result, while a long scene like a Legion fortress rally fits better at 60 so the calls are kept to the end. To change the shortcut, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

In fortress sieges and Abyss fights, the Legion's calls stick with you as much as the visuals. Lines like 'Asmo party in the Abyss, gain altitude', 'stay behind the Cleric, Assassin's stealthed' and 'everyone's here for Fire Temple' go back and forth, and before an enchant you will hear 'one more enchant, pray for me'. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes the raid leader's rally calls and your Legion's reactions onto the recording timeline as text. If you want to know who opened wings first at the fortress, find that call in the timeline text and select it to jump straight to the scene. To balance your mic against the game audio, see recording games with mic audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

Clips gathered at each stage of progression become an AION Classic throwback video with AI Highlight. In the library, check the air fight over the Abyss, the Assassin stealth ambush, the Legion fortress rally, the Fire Temple boss clear, gliding with wings out and the moment right before an enchant lands, then select AI Highlight. DOR joins the checked moments into one video. Putting a successful enchant next to one that blew up goes over well in a Legion group chat too. To arrange clips in progression order from your first dungeon to your first siege, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. Trim out the grind, then add a shake zoom and text on the frame where an enchant result pops. For a progression video, label each stage with text like 'first trip into the Abyss', drop a glitch transition between stages and lay a calm background track underneath. Keep Abyss fights wide in 16:9 and put enchant reactions in 9:16 Shorts. Getting the result as an mp4 is covered in exporting DOR clips, or share it as a link straight away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed scenes as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link plays it right in their browser without installing anything, so you can post the day's Abyss fight in your Legion group chat or Discord, or send the rally to Legion members who missed the siege. Before you send anything to friends outside the Legion, listen through the voice calls first to make sure no private chat slipped in. Choosing progression scenes and fortress sieges to send is covered in keeping AION Classic fortress siege videos, and posting to Discord is covered in sharing clips on Discord.

AION Classic recommended settings and troubleshooting

AION Classic is fairly light, so recording runs smoothly even at minimum spec. The default 1080p at 30fps keeps the Abyss sky and character wings crisp, and 60fps is the pick if you want air fights to look smoother. On an older PC, the lighter 720p/30fps mode keeps the load down. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, so leave the game's settings alone. Where anti cheat blocks game capture, DOR switches to monitor capture and keeps recording. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on grinding and fights is small. It has no cheat features and never touches your game files or play data. On a laptop or an older PC, see recording games on a low end PC.
