Key takeaways
  • FreeStyle: Reboot is recorded as one full session, so back to back 3v3 games stay in one video until you close the game.
  • Press the clip save shortcut right after a dunk or a buzzer beater to keep that moment on its own.
  • Turn dunk, crossover and block clips into a street ball mixtape and a hoops short with AI Highlight and DOR Studio.

FreeStyle: Reboot records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI handles the rest. There is no restarting between games. From the lobby to every 3v3 game on the street court, everything runs together in one video until you close the game. A dunk between two defenders or a three that drops at the horn is already on record, so all you do is cut those few seconds and send them. This guide walks through the full routine in order: getting ready, confirming the recording, saving highlights, finding scenes in a multi game recording, building mixtapes and shorts, and sending links to your club.

  • Keep every 3v3 game of the night in one video, from the lobby to the last game.
  • Save a two hand alley oop or a crossover ankle breaker as its own clip on the spot.
  • Find teammate calls like 'paint's open, throw the lob' with AI Voice Notes and jump to that possession.
  • Join a rim protecting block and a no look assist into a street ball mixtape with AI Highlight.
  • Cut a buzzer beating three into a 9:16 short and send it to your hoops crew with a dor.gg link.

Before you record FreeStyle: Reboot: install and recording mode

FreeStyle: Reboot uses full session recording. Log in once and play several games back to back, and those games plus the waiting in between all land in one video in order. You never start a recording per game. DOR is a free Windows app and never adds a watermark, so dunks go up as clean originals with no logo. Whether you launch through the launcher or Steam, any FreeStyle: Reboot running on your PC is detected and recorded. How recording starts on its own when a game launches is explained in DOR automatic game recording. The table below covers what to check before your first recording.

Record FreeStyle: Reboot with DOR: step by step

  1. 1Install DORDownload DOR and install it. Once setup finishes, DOR waits in the background for the game to start. If your club is running 3v3 tonight, install it before you log in.
  2. 2Launch FreeStyle: RebootStart the game on your PC as usual. Recording begins as soon as DOR detects the game, so the lobby and waiting room at the start of the video are expected.
  3. 3Check that recording is runningBefore your first game tips off, glance at the DOR app once to confirm the recording is in progress. If the game is not picked up, follow what to do when the recorder does not detect your game. After that, games change while the video keeps going.
  4. 4Save the clip right after the dunkCaught the lob in an empty paint and threw down a two hander, or dropped your defender with a crossover? Press the clip save shortcut right after. The last 30 seconds are stored as a separate clip.
  5. 5Quit and open My ClipsClose the game and every game of the session lands in My Clips as one video, with the clips you saved alongside. The game you flipped with a buzzer beater is in that same video.

Find your recordings

Your recordings collect in My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you open and close the game becomes one session, and anything you grabbed with the clip save shortcut appears as its own clip. Basketball highlights last a few seconds but the recording covers your whole time online, so jot a note like 'third game, late' after each game. Between games a waiting screen appears briefly, so count those screens to jump straight to the right game. Inside a game, the moment the score changes is the easiest marker. Rewind 3 to 4 seconds from there for a dunk or 6 to 8 for a drive and set your start point. Then set the end point and export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Dunks and blocks suit 9:16, while a possession with several passes suits 16:9 where the whole court is visible. The walkthrough is in how to trim game clips. Like the moments you want to keep. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first.

Save the moments you want to keep

Street ball highlights are over in 3 to 8 seconds. Press the clip save shortcut right after one and the last stretch is saved as a clip. The default length is 30 seconds, and you can choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds in settings. A two hand alley oop or a rim protecting block fits in 15 seconds, while a drive from a crossover ankle breaker to the finish suits 30. For a possession with several passes, like a no look assist, set 45 so the first pass is included. A buzzer beating three only lands if the clock and score are visible, so save 60 seconds as soon as the result appears and the whole final possession is kept. To change the shortcut or length, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Playing 3v3 with teammates means nonstop calls like 'paint's open, throw the lob', 'I'll set the screen, come around', 'I've got the board' and 'shoot the three before the buzzer'. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes those calls onto the recording timeline as text. To check who promised that screen or who got the last shot, select that line in the timeline and jump straight to the play. To capture your teammates' voices as well, see recording Discord call audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

Once dunk and block clips pile up, build a court mixtape. In the library, check the two hand alley oop, the crossover ankle breaker, the rim protecting block, the offensive board putback, the no look assist and the buzzer beating three, then select AI Highlight to cut a street ball mixtape. It carries that classic FreeStyle energy and is ready to pass around. You can also gather only the plays from one character you have built up. To set the order yourself, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. Shake zoom every dunk, punch zoom the moment your crossover drops a defender and use a glitch transition between games. Lay a hip hop beat underneath and add character names and positions as text for that mixtape feel. Export 9:16 for a hoops short or 16:9 for a highlight that shows the whole court. For vertical framing, see recording games for vertical Shorts. When you are done, download an mp4 or share it as a link straight away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed moments as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link watches in a browser without the app, so your buzzer beater goes straight into the Discord of the crew you run with. Dunks become TikTok, YouTube or Instagram shorts in the clean original, no logo attached. Cut a single dunk in 9:16 and a passing possession in 16:9 so the viewer gets the situation at once. How to pull buzzer beaters and blocks out of a day's recording is covered in sharing FreeStyle: Reboot dunk clips, and posting to Discord is in sharing clips on Discord.

FreeStyle: Reboot recommended settings and troubleshooting

If you play FreeStyle: Reboot on a 144Hz or 240Hz monitor, a GPU at the recommended spec keeps your high refresh rate while recording. Recording defaults to 1080p at 30fps. To keep fast dribbles and dunk animations smooth, choose 60fps. If your PC struggles, drop to the 720p/30fps mode. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on frame rate is small and block timing still feels right. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, so keep your usual display settings. If frames drop only while recording, start with fixing FPS drops while recording. DOR has no cheat features and never touches game files or play data.

SymptomWhat to checkFix

A play is hard to find among many gamesWaiting screens and score changesCount games by the waiting screens and rewind from score changes, then save a clip right after each dunk next time.
Worried a recorder could cause a banHow DOR worksDOR only captures the screen, has no cheat features and does not modify game files or play data.
If a game is going down to the wire, switch the clip length to 60 seconds before the final possession. One press right after the buzzer beater captures the clock running down and the score flipping in a single clip, ready to close out your mixtape.
