Key takeaways
  • MapleStory Worlds is recorded as one full session, so every world you hop into stays in one video until you close the client.
  • Press the clip save shortcut right after a rare drop and that moment is saved on its own.
  • Turn a day of world hopping into a vlog with AI Highlight, or cut a promo for your own world in DOR Studio.

MapleStory Worlds records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the client and the AI handles the rest. Whether you are grinding an old school Maple world made by fans, running a party hunt with friends or stopping by a friend's minigame world, every world records the same way and stays in one video until you close the client. This guide walks through the full routine in order: getting ready, confirming the recording, saving drops and minigame wins, finding scenes in a recording that spans many worlds, building vlogs and world promos, and sending links to your guild and friends.

  • Keep a whole day of hopping between fan made Maple worlds and friends' worlds in one video.
  • Save a rare drop or the last platform of a jump quest as its own clip on the spot.
  • Find party chatter like 'wait, that item actually dropped' with AI Voice Notes and jump to the drop.
  • Bundle a minigame first place, a party boss clear and a tour of a friend's world into a vlog with AI Highlight.
  • Turn the first playtest of your own world into a 9:16 promo short and share it with a dor.gg link.

Before you record MapleStory Worlds: install and recording mode

MapleStory Worlds is fairly light, so recording runs smoothly even at minimum spec. DOR is a free Windows app and never adds a watermark. The game uses full session recording, which means that even though every world has its own genre and rules, recordings are not split per world. Every world you visit while the client is open lands in one video, in order. DOR is a Windows app, so it records when you play through the PC client. If you grind on an older laptop, also read recording games on a low end PC. The table below covers what to know before your first recording.

Record MapleStory Worlds 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 you have a party hunt planned with your guild, install it before you log in.
  2. 2Launch MapleStory WorldsOpen the MapleStory Worlds client on your PC as usual. Recording begins as soon as DOR detects the game, so the world select screen at the start of the video is expected.
  3. 3Check that recording is runningAfter entering your first world, 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. From then on, moving to a friend's world keeps everything in the same video.
  4. 4Save the clip right after a dropThe item you have been farming finally dropped, or you outlasted everyone to take first place in a minigame? Press the clip save shortcut right after. The last 30 seconds are stored as a separate clip.
  5. 5Close the client and open My ClipsClose the client and every world you visited lands in My Clips as one video, in order, with the clips you saved alongside. The playtest of your own world 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 client becomes one session, and anything you grabbed with the clip save shortcut appears as its own clip. Since a session mixes many worlds, jot the world name and the time on your phone each time you enter a new one, and use that list like a table of contents. Moving to a new world changes the whole background and map layout, so scrubbing for the spot where the look changes splits the recording by world. For minigames, search from the results screen. Set a start and an end point to trim, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. A minigame win only makes sense if you keep a little of the round's start through a few seconds after the rankings appear. The walkthrough is in how to trim game clips. Like the videos you want to keep, such as a rare drop. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first.

Save the moments you want to keep

Great hunting and minigame moments arrive without warning. 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 rare drop fits in 15 seconds, while the last platform of a jump quest suits 30 so the tension before it is included. For moments that need context, like a party boss clear or a minigame first place, save 60 seconds right after the result. For the first playtest of your own world, the moment a friend walks in and reacts is what matters, so save 45 seconds right after to use as promo material. To change the shortcut or length, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Party hunts and world tours come with nonstop lines like 'this spot's free, grab it', 'wait, that item actually dropped' and 'who made this world, it's so polished'. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes the chatter onto the recording timeline as text. If the moment someone yelled that it dropped is your highlight of the day, select that line in the timeline and jump straight to the drop. The spot where you asked 'can you playtest my world next?' is easy to find by text too. To capture your guildmates' voices as well, see recording Discord call audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

Bundle a day of rare drops, minigame wins and world tours like a vlog. In the library, check the rare drop moment, the minigame first place, the party boss clear, the first test of your world, the tour of a friend's world and the jump quest's last platform, then select AI Highlight to join scenes from across many worlds into one video. You can also pick scenes from a single world to make a keepsake of it. 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. A few gameplay scenes are enough to promote a world you built. String them together, add the world's name as text, put a punch zoom on the moment an item drops and a glitch transition where worlds change, then lay background music underneath for a promo video. A shake zoom suits a funny fall in a jump quest. Export a 9:16 short or a 16:9 trailer. 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 posting a drop in your guild's Discord takes nothing more than pasting the link. Send friends you played with a short minigame clip that includes the results, and use a 9:16 demo when you want to promote your own world. A world promo short on YouTube shows just your world, with no watermark. How to pick scenes out of a multi world recording is covered in sharing MapleStory Worlds gameplay videos, and posting to Discord is in sharing clips on Discord.

MapleStory Worlds recommended settings and troubleshooting

MapleStory Worlds is light, so the default 1080p at 30fps already records smoothly. To keep jump quests and fast minigames smooth, choose 60fps. On an older PC, the 720p/30fps mode keeps the load low. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, so hunting in a window as usual is captured as is. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on frame rate is small. Hours of grinding make large recordings, so keep only the moments you clip and adjust quality in settings. Ways to do that are in reducing game recording file size. DOR has no cheat features and never touches game files or play data.

SymptomWhat to checkFix
The recording is a black screenThe client's display modeDOR records fullscreen, windowed and borderless alike. If it is still black, follow [fixing fullscreen recording](fullscreen-recording-not-working) to switch to monitor capture.
The nostalgic BGM and sound effects are missingYour Windows output device and DOR audio settingsConfirm which device the game plays through, then work through [fixing game recordings with no sound](game-recording-no-sound-fix).
Many worlds in one video make a scene hard to findWorld entry points and your notesMatch the points where the look changes with the world names you noted, and save a clip right after each moment next time.
Hunting stutters while recordingRecording resolution and frame rateGPU hardware encoding keeps the impact small, but if it still stutters, drop to 720p/30fps mode.
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.
Each time you enter a new world, save a 15 second clip right after you load in. Every world's first view is kept as a clip, so you can see at a glance where you went that day, and the clips double as world intro shots when you build a vlog.
