How to Record Special Force with DOR: Official Guide (2026)

Special Force records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI handles the rest. Rounds are short and come back to back, but you never restart recording between them. From launch to exit, clan matches and quick rounds run together in one video. If you got the old clan back together and flipped the final round of a bomb mission by defusing as the last one alive, that moment is already on record. This guide covers the original Special Force in order: getting ready, confirming the recording, saving key plays, finding scenes in a recording full of rounds, building a clan video, and sharing links.

• Keep every match from clan games to quick rounds in one continuous video.
• Save three headshots at the door or a one shot sniper pick the moment the round ends.
• Find clan calls like 'planted B, watch my back' with AI Voice Notes and jump to that round.
• Join a 1v2 defuse clutch and the clan match final round into one video with AI Highlight.
• Cut a knife fight comeback into a 9:16 short and send it to your clan chat with a dor.gg link.

Before you record Special Force: install and recording mode

Special Force 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 however many rounds start and end within a match, the video keeps going until you close the game. DOR treats the original and the remaster as separate games, so if you play both, check that both are switched on under full session recording in settings. If you play clan matches on an older PC, also read recording games on a low end PC. The table below covers what to know before your first recording.

Record Special Force 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 tonight is a clan reunion, install it before everyone logs in.
2. 2Launch Special ForceStart the original Special Force on your PC as usual. Recording begins as soon as DOR detects the game, so the lobby and room list at the start of the video are expected.
3. 3Check that recording is runningBefore your first match, 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, rounds and matches change while the video keeps going.
4. 4Save the clip as the round endsJust chained headshots at the door, or dropped the sniper on top of the warehouse with one shot? Press the clip save shortcut before the next round starts. The last 30 seconds are stored as a separate clip.
5. 5Quit and open My ClipsClose the game and the whole session lands in My Clips as one video, with the clips you saved alongside. The final round of the clan match 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 Special Force becomes one session, and anything you grabbed with the clip save shortcut appears as its own clip. Rounds are short, so a single match starts and ends many times. Split the recording by match using the results screen that appears after each one, then look through the rounds inside. When a round sticks in your memory, note which match it was. Rounds with headshots or sniper picks stack kill notices in quick succession on one side of the screen, so look for clusters of notices first. Set a start and an end point to trim, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Headshot plays work at around 10 seconds and bomb mission clutches at 20 to 40. The walkthrough is in how to trim game clips. Like the videos you want to keep, such as a clan match win. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first.

Save the moments you want to keep

Special Force moves fast, so great plays pass quickly. Press the clip save shortcut the moment a round ends 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. Three headshots at the door or a one shot sniper pick fit in 15 seconds, while holding the site after a plant suits 45 so the hold is included. Tense moments like a 1v2 defuse clutch or a clan match final round are best at 60 seconds so the clip starts when you became the last one alive. Save a knife fight comeback at 30 seconds right after it ends. To change the shortcut or length, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

In clan matches, calls like 'planted B, watch my back', 'sniper on top of the warehouse', 'last one alive, going for the defuse' and 'full rush this round, everyone' go back and forth every round. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes those calls onto the recording timeline like round by round notes. To see which round you agreed to stack B, select that line in the timeline and jump straight to the scene. What you shouted to your clan during a clutch is kept too. To capture your clanmates' voices as well, see recording Discord call audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

Short rounds scatter the best plays everywhere, so let AI Highlight gather them. In the library, check the 1v2 defuse clutch, three headshots at the door, the one shot sniper pick, holding the site after plant, the clan match final round and the knife fight comeback, then select AI Highlight to line them up into one Special Force video. It makes a great record of the night the clan got back together. 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. Trim the waits between rounds and add a punch zoom on every headshot frame. Put a shake zoom where the defuse completes and a glitch transition between rounds, tag clanmates' names or the date as text, and lay a nostalgic track underneath for a throwback montage. Export 9:16 for Shorts and 16:9 for YouTube. 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, even on a phone, without installing anything, so pasting it into your clan's group chat or Discord lets longtime clanmates and old friends who have stepped away from the game watch that round right away. Throwback montages post to YouTube or TikTok with no watermark. Tips for picking short round highlights to send your clan are in sending Special Force headshot videos, and posting to Discord is in sharing clips on Discord.

Special Force recommended settings and troubleshooting

Special Force is a light game, so the default 1080p at 30fps already records smoothly. To keep fast aim and headshot streaks smooth, choose 60fps. On a PC with low frame rates, record lightly with the 720p/30fps mode. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on frame rate is small. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, so keep your usual display settings. Late nights of back to back matches make large recordings, so clear originals you have already trimmed and sent, and to move recordings elsewhere see changing the recording save location. DOR has no cheat features and never touches game files or play data.
