Apex Legends recording troubleshooting
Apex Legends recording causes lag or FPS drops
DOR uses GPU hardware encoding for low-overhead capture, so the impact is small. If it still struggles, switch to 720p/30fps mode in settings.
Apex Legends records as a black screen in fullscreen
DOR captures fullscreen, windowed and borderless modes alike, and switches to monitor capture on games that block game capture, so you don't get a black screen.
Will a recorder get my Apex Legends account banned?
DOR has no cheat features and never modifies game files or your gameplay data, it only captures video. Where anti-cheat blocks the capture hook, DOR switches to monitor capture to record your Apex Legends session.
Apex Legends recording FAQ
Is there a replay system for Apex Legends?
DOR gives you one. Every match is recorded in full, so you can scrub back to any fight once the game ends.
How do I record Apex Legends on PC?
Install DOR, a free Windows app, and launch Apex. Recording starts when you load into a match, with game audio, mic and keyboard and mouse input captured.
What's good clipping software for Apex Legends?
DOR records each match automatically and lets you save any moment as a clip mid game, then cut it in DOR Studio in your browser.
How do I clip Apex Legends?
Right after the fight, save it as a clip in DOR. The surrounding footage is already recorded, so the whole engagement is in there.

Yes. Export from DOR Studio at 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 with no watermark, ready to drop into your edit.
How do I clip Apex?
Run DOR and tap once right after the fight, the moment is saved.
