When you beat a defender and curl the ball into the top corner in FC Online, you want to show that goal to a friend right away. This guide walks through one method from start to finish: record the goal with DOR, trim it to what matters, and send it as a dor.gg link. There is no need to film your monitor with a phone or move large files around. See what DOR supports for this game on the FC Online hub, and for the process of keeping goal moments in the first place, see how to save FC Online goal moments.
One goal, or every goal from the match?
There is just one thing to decide before you send. If a single goal is the highlight, like a long-range strike or a bicycle kick, trim that one goal clip and send it. If the match itself is the story, like coming back from 0-2 to win 3-2, it works better to send the match's goals bundled in order. Bundling is done with the merge feature in DOR Studio, and the general flow of joining several clips into one is covered in how to merge multiple game clips.
Steps to send an FC Online goal to a friend
- 1Install DOR and launch FC Online as usualDOR is a free Windows desktop app. After installing it, launch FC Online and DOR detects the game automatically, recording the whole match once it starts. You do not need to look for a record button before kickoff.
- 2Find the goal clips in the library after the matchWhen the match ends, the full-match recording is saved as an mp4, and the app library also shows goal clips created when goals were detected. Because a clip is made for each goal, it is easy to pick the one to send even from a high-scoring match. First play the clip to check that the moment the ball goes in was captured.
- 3Trim the segment to include the build-upIf the goal clip alone does not show enough of the build-up, open the full-match recording and, in the library trim tool, set the start where the passing move began. A good end point is right after the ball hits the net or as the celebration begins. For a curler, leave a little extra at the end so the whole bend of the ball is visible.
- 4Pick a ratio for who will watch and whereChoose an output ratio of 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. For a friend watching on PC, 16:9 shows more of the pitch; for a group chat watched on phones, 9:16 or 1:1 also works. Keep in mind that FC Online's view is wide, so a vertical crop can cut off the player who crossed the ball or the defensive shape.
- 5Send a dor.gg link right after the matchOnce trimmed, share the video as a dor.gg link. Send that goal from a moment ago to the friend you just played a friendly with, and they play it in a browser without installing an app. Sending it while the match is still fresh keeps the conversation going naturally.
- 6Merge a match's goals into one in DOR StudioFor a match with several goals in a row, like a comeback win or a hat-trick, open DOR Studio in a browser with no install and merge the goal clips in match order. Adding text with the score or the order of goals helps a friend who did not see the match follow along.
- 7Add background music and export as an mp4 or linkIn the studio, balance background music against the original sound, pick an effect template, then download an mp4 or share a link. For a club chat or a friends' group chat, just paste the link.
What to keep for each type of goal
| Goal type | Segment to keep | When and who to send it to |
|---|---|---|
| Long shot | From receiving the ball and opening a shooting angle until the net ripples | Right after the match, to the friend you played with |
| Curler | From the dribble that creates space until the ball bends in | Right after the match, or that evening in your friends' group chat |
| Bicycle kick or volley | From the moment the cross comes in until the ball goes in (keep it short) | In the friends' group chat, no explanation needed |
| Comeback goal | Trim the equalizer and the go-ahead goal separately, then merge them in order | To a friend who watched the match, or the friend you played against |
| Last-minute winner | The goal plus enough of the moment to show the match is nearly over | To friends or club mates who were cheering along |
| Goal from a friendly | The goal clip as is, or that day's goals bundled together | To the friend you played the friendly with |
Checks before you send a goal video
- Both the moment the ball goes in and the pass just before it are inside the clip.
- I set the end point so the footage after the goal does not drag on.
- If several goals are merged, they are in match order.
- I listened once to the balance of game sound, background music and microphone.
- If the opponent's name shows on screen, I thought about how widely to share before sending.
- I chose the ratio based on whether the viewer will watch on PC or on a phone.
What DOR does for FC Online
DOR is a free Windows desktop app: launch FC Online and it detects the game, records the whole match as an mp4, and saves a separate goal clip whenever it detects a goal. Automatic highlight clips are created for only seven games, FC Online among them, and in FC Online the moments it targets are goals. With an NVIDIA graphics card, NVENC hardware encoding is the default, and game sound and microphone are recorded together. The library trim tool supports 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 ratios and dor.gg link sharing, and the person who gets the link plays it with no app, even in a mobile browser. Merging several goals and adding text and background music happen in DOR Studio, introduced in the DOR browser clip editor article, and if you are looking for people to watch goal videos with, FC Online club finder can help.
