PEAK is a co-op climbing game where you and your friends scale a mountain on an island, and the accidents are more memorable than the skill. A friend letting go just below the summit, a scream fading away over proximity chat, the moment you barely drag a teammate back up: they are over in seconds but you want to watch them again. This guide shows how to record PEAK with DOR, trim just those moments into short clips, and send them to friends as a dor.gg link. The focus is a few seconds of funny footage, not a long video.
Why short clips matter here
DOR keeps PEAK as a whole-session recording. Every attempt and every bit of waiting from launching the game to closing it continues as one video, and DOR does not detect falls or summits to make clips automatically. You find and trim the scenes you want to share yourself. A funny PEAK moment lasts only from the slip to the landing, so the longer you trim, the more the joke fades. If you are curious about loop-style reaction clips, making game GIFs is worth a read.
Turning a PEAK fall into a clip
- 1Pick one person to recordEven when four of you climb together, not everyone needs to record. One person can record with DOR and the rest can watch through a link. If you want the same moment from another angle, two or more people can record separately.
- 2Install DOR and launch the game as usualDOR is a free Windows app that detects a supported game when it starts and begins recording. Friends' voices from proximity chat and your own mic are captured together, so the screams and laughter end up in the same video.
- 3Remember which attempt the accident happened onAfter restarting the climb several times, it is easy to forget who fell on which run. Just remembering roughly which attempt had the big accident makes it much easier to find that section in the recording.
- 4Search the library in seconds, not minutesWhen you close the game, the recording is saved as an mp4 and appears in the app library. Use each restart as a landmark to divide the attempts, then look for the point where the view suddenly drops downward; that is the fall.
- 5Trim it into a clip a few seconds longStart the trim a second or two before the accident and end it right after your friends react. Pick 9:16 or 1:1 if most friends watch on phones, or 16:9 if you want to show the whole climbing route.
- 6Paste the dor.gg link into your group chatWhen the trim finishes, you get a dor.gg link. There is no file to send, so just paste the link into a group chat or Discord channel, and friends play it in a browser without an app.
Where to start and end each kind of clip
| Moment | Start point | End point |
|---|---|---|
| Reaching the summit | When the team starts the final stretch | All four of you standing together at the top |
| Solo fall | One or two seconds before the hand slips | Right after your friend hits the ground |
| Chain fall | When the first climber loses balance | The silence after the last person drops |
| Friend rescue | When a teammate starts hanging on for dear life | The relief right after you pull them up |
| Proximity chat scream | Just before a friend's voice starts fading away | When the scream cuts off and everyone left laughs |
| Risky jump | When the run-up begins | The barely-made landing on the other side |
Before sending a PEAK clip
- The clip starts just before the accident and ends right after the reaction.
- I checked the game volume so proximity chat voices are audible.
- The opening shows enough to tell who fell.
- I considered a vertical or square ratio for friends watching on phones.
- I left comfortably more than 20GB free on the drive before a long session of attempts.
- The friends I played with are fine with their screams being shared.
How DOR fits PEAK
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. When you launch PEAK, it detects the game and records the entire session as a single mp4 until you close it, with NVENC hardware encoding as the default on PCs with an NVIDIA graphics card, and game audio and mic recorded together. For tips on balancing those two sources, see recording game audio with your mic. A clip trimmed in the library travels as a single dor.gg address, and the person opening it has nothing to install. To gather a night's worth of falls into one video, DOR Studio in the browser, with no install, can merge several videos and add effect templates and background music. If you need more people to climb with, finding gaming friends can help.
