Key takeaways
  • Cyphers is recorded as one full session, so normal and ranked matches from launch to exit land in a single video.
  • Press the clip save shortcut right after you flip a team fight and the engage through the finish is kept as its own clip, so there is no record key to think about.
  • Huton engages, Rebecca pokes and last tower holds become a main character montage with AI Highlight and DOR Studio.

Cyphers records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI takes it from there. Recording is already running before a match starts, so it does not matter if there is no time to press a record key, and it carries on between matches whether you are in normal or ranked. Diving into the middle of a team fight as Huton, picking off their carry with Rebecca's pokes, holding the last tower to flip a lost match: everything is captured from character select. When the match ends, you can rewatch that team fight in the library straight away instead of hunting for a replay. This guide covers recording Cyphers with DOR in order: getting ready, checking recording, clipping team fights, finding matches in a long recording, making montages and sending links to your party.

  • Keep an evening of normal and ranked matches in one video, from character select to quitting the game.
  • Save a Huton engage, a Rebecca long range pick or a one combo melt as separate clips.
  • Use AI Voice Notes to find engage calls like 'I'm going in, follow me' and review why a team fight flipped.
  • Join the last tower hold and the late comeback into a main character montage with AI Highlight.
  • Paste the team fight you just flipped into your party's Discord or group chat with a dor.gg link.

Before you record Cyphers: install and recording mode

Cyphers is a fast action AOS that many people play on high refresh monitors, so it is worth checking your graphics card's headroom before recording. DOR is a free Windows app and never puts a watermark on your videos. Cyphers uses full session recording, which means the recording does not break at the end of each match; several normal and ranked matches plus the time spent in the Twilight Plaza in between all go into one video until you quit. If you are worried about frame rate while recording, read fixing FPS drops while recording first. The table below lists what to know for Cyphers.

Record Cyphers with DOR: step by step

  1. 1Install DORDownload DOR, install it and leave it running. It is free, and how the app records as soon as a game launches is covered in DOR automatic game recording. Install it once before you queue for ranked and you are set.
  2. 2Launch CyphersStart Cyphers on your Windows PC. When DOR detects the game, recording begins right away, starting with you walking around the Twilight Plaza.
  3. 3Check recording before the first matchBefore you queue, open the DOR app once and confirm the recording is in progress. After that, just pick your character and play; recording continues even when the match ends and you return to the plaza.
  4. 4Clip the team fight when it endsWhen you dive in as Huton and flip a team fight, or melt an enemy with one combo, press the clip save shortcut as the fight wraps up. Everything from the standoff through the engage and the ultimate chain is stored as a separate clip.
  5. 5Quit 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. You can rewatch that team fight right away without looking for a replay.

Find your recordings

Open your recordings from My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you open and close Cyphers becomes one session, and team fights you grabbed with the clip save shortcut show up as their own clips. Every match is separated by a Twilight Plaza screen, so skim the progress bar for where the plaza appears and the recording splits neatly into matches. Once you are inside the right match, look for the point where the tower HP gauge at the top center of the screen swings hard one way. That is usually a team fight or a tower falling, so start checking 30 seconds before it. Keep the few seconds of standoff before a team fight when you trim, and the engage reads clearly. 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 you want to keep for good, such as a ranked match with a promotion on the line. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first, so liked matches stay put.

Save the moments you want to keep

Even with every match recorded, clipping the team fights you want to rewatch on the spot saves you from skimming plaza screens one by one. 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 Cyphers are right after a Huton engage opens a team fight, right after Rebecca's poke picks off their carry, right after an enemy tower falls, and right after you hold the last tower. A one combo melt fits in 15 seconds, while a late comeback built from several fights in a row fits better at 60 so the flow stays intact. To change the shortcut and length, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Running ranked with a party means a constant stream of calls: 'I'm going in, follow me', 'their ranged carry is half HP, dive', 'everyone defend before the tower falls'. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes those calls onto the recording timeline as text. If you want to know why a fight flipped after 'going in, follow me', find that call in the timeline text and select it to jump straight to the scene. You can also see who asked for backup and who arrived late, with the words and footage side by side, which makes party reviews far more useful. Reactions like 'melted him in one combo' stay in the text as well, which helps when you pick montage scenes. If your party talks over Discord, see recording Discord call audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

Your main's best plays are montage material. In the library, check the Huton engage, the Rebecca long range pick, the one combo melt, the last tower hold, the enemy tower down and the late comeback, then select AI Highlight. DOR joins the checked moments into one video of comeback team fights. Use only clips from the same character and you have a main character showcase. To arrange clips in match order yourself, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. A shake zoom on the ultimate, the character's name in text and a background track underneath give you the basic shape of a Cyphers montage. Add glitch transitions between team fights and punch zooms on combo finishers to set the rhythm. Export short combo showcases in 9:16, and ranked reviews that need the minimap and tower gauge in 16:9. To keep the character and skill effects inside a vertical frame, read recording games for vertical Shorts. When you are done, download the result as an mp4 or share it as a link straight away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed team fights as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link plays it right in their browser without installing anything, so you can paste the comeback straight into the Discord or group chat of the party you just played with. Send combo clips to a friend who mains the same character, and the landscape video with the tower gauge visible to the party you review ranked with. Finding tower kills and comebacks in the recording and sending them is covered in sharing Cyphers team fight videos, and posting to Discord is covered in sharing clips on Discord.

Cyphers recommended settings and troubleshooting

If you play Cyphers at 144Hz or 240Hz, a GPU at the recommended spec keeps your high refresh rate while recording. You can start with the default 1080p at 30fps, but skill effects and combos move so fast that 60fps keeps your chains much 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 your in game frame rate is small. It has no cheat features and never touches your game files or play data. On a lower spec PC, see recording games on a low end PC.

SymptomWhat to checkFix

In game FPS drops during team fightsRecording frame rate, resolution and monitor refresh rateGPU hardware encoding keeps the impact small, but if holding a high refresh rate is a struggle, switch to 720p/30fps mode.
Too many matches to find the right oneThe Twilight Plaza screen between matchesSplit the recording at each plaza screen on the progress bar, and clip team fights right after they happen next time.
Worried a recorder could affect your accountHow DOR worksDOR only captures the screen, has no cheat features and does not modify game files or play data.
When a match you want to remember ends, note which match number it was as soon as you are back in the plaza. Even in a recording that runs all evening, you can count plaza screens and jump straight to that match.
