How to Record Monster Hunter Wilds with DOR: Official Guide (2026)

Monster Hunter Wilds records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI handles the rest. Start Wilds from Steam and DOR detects it, keeping everything from gearing up at camp through tracking, fights in a sandstorm, captures and carves to the quest complete screen, all in one video until you close the game. DOR is a standalone free app that works independently of your GPU maker's recording tools, so it works on PCs where NVIDIA recording will not pick up the game. This guide walks you through installing DOR, confirming the recording, saving big moments, finding them later, building a hunt highlight and sharing it.

• Keep each session of hunts in one video, from leaving on a quest to the quest complete screen.
• Save a True Charged Slash on a wound, a Long Sword Foresight Slash or a tail cut as separate clips.
• Use AI Voice Notes to find party calls like 'it's limping, get the trap ready' and jump straight to that moment.
• Combine an Offset Attack knockdown, a four hunter finish and a trap capture into a one monster hunt montage.
• Post a speedrun clear or a solo hunt to your Discord server with a single dor.gg link.

Before you record Monster Hunter Wilds: install and recording mode

Monster Hunter Wilds is GPU heavy, so it pays to settle your recording resolution and frame rate once before you start. DOR is a free Windows app and never adds a watermark. Wilds uses full session recording, which means the video does not split no matter how many times you take a quest and return; it keeps running until you close the game. If your frame rate drops once recording is on, check fixing FPS drops while recording first. The table below lists what is worth knowing before your first Wilds recording.

Record Monster Hunter Wilds with DOR: step by step

1. 1Install DORDownload DOR and install it. Setup takes about a minute and the app is free. Leave DOR running afterwards. You do not need to press a record button every time you take a quest.
2. 2Launch Wilds from SteamStart Monster Hunter Wilds from Steam and load your save. Recording begins as soon as DOR detects the game, so the title screen and the camp loading screen at the start of the video are expected.
3. 3Check that recording is runningWhen you arrive at camp, 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, focus on your loadout and the hunt.
4. 4Clip the big moments right awayRight after a True Charged Slash lands on an open wound, or right after an Offset Attack topples the monster, press the clip save shortcut. The last 30 seconds are stored as a separate clip, so you will not have to hunt for that one hit in hours of footage.
5. 5Quit and open My ClipsWhen you finish hunting and close the game, the full session video plus every clip you saved appear together in My Clips in the DOR app. The quest complete and reward screens are kept the same way.

Find your recordings

Your recordings live in My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you open and close Wilds becomes one session, and anything you saved with the clip save shortcut appears as its own clip. Several quests run back to back in one video, so count the quest complete messages and the loading screens back to camp to find the hunt you want. Noting the real time when a part break notice appears or a combo lands perfectly makes it even more precise. Set a start and an end point to trim what you need, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. The full walkthrough is in how to trim game clips. Like the videos you want to keep, such as your first solo hunt. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first, so liked videos stay.

Save the moments you want to keep

Even with the whole hunt recorded, saving the hits you will rewatch on the spot makes them far easier to find. Press the clip save shortcut and the last stretch becomes a clip. The default length is 30 seconds, and you can pick 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds in settings. In Wilds, good moments to press it are right after a True Charged Slash lands on a wound, right after a tail comes off, and right after a trap capture succeeds. A weapon combo runs from the first hit until your hunter recovers, so 15 to 30 seconds is plenty, while longer scenes like a four hunter finish fit better at 60 seconds. To change the shortcut, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Party hunts come with nonstop calls like 'it's limping, get the trap ready', 'tail's off, grab the carve' and 'flash pod, look away'. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes your party's hunt calls onto the recording timeline as text. To check who said 'capture it now' and then kept swinging anyway, find the line in the timeline text and select it to jump to the scene. The moment someone called 'wound's open, hit Focus Mode' is on record too, which helps when you review a fight. If your party calls over Discord, see recording Discord call audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

A hunt from start to finish mixes in a lot of tracking and travel. In the library, check your clips of the True Charged Slash on a wound, the Long Sword Foresight Slash, the tail cut, the Offset Attack knockdown, the four hunter finish and the trap capture, then select AI Highlight. DOR joins them into one hunt montage at a length that shows off your weapon mastery. To arrange hunts of different monsters yourself, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. Punch zoom the frame where the blade comes down and shake zoom as the monster drops. Put the weapon type and clear time on screen as text with a background track and you have a proper hunting video. A glitch transition between hunts keeps things tidy. Scenes where the monster fills the screen suit 16:9, while a combo focused on one hunter works as a 9:16 short; framing tips are in recording games for vertical Shorts. Download the result as an mp4 or share it as a link right away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed moments as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link plays it in the browser without installing anything, so your party can watch straight from Discord. For friends who use the same weapon, include the two or three seconds where you create the opening before the combo, and start part break clips from the two or three attacks aimed at that part, so they see exactly when to commit. How much to trim for each kind of scene is covered in sharing Monster Hunter Wilds combo and part break videos, and posting to Discord is covered in sharing clips on Discord.

Monster Hunter Wilds recommended settings and troubleshooting

Monster Hunter Wilds is GPU heavy, so a PC at or above the recommended spec keeps both in game frame rate and recording stable. Start with the default 1080p at 30fps, and switch to 60fps if you want weapon combos and monster animations to look smoother. 60fps stays available even in big fights, but if things get heavy once recording is on, drop to the 720p/30fps mode. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, and DOR uses GPU hardware encoding so the frame rate impact is small. For nights you chain quests for hours, see recording long gameplay without stutter. DOR has no cheat features and never touches game files or saves.
