Launch CS2 and every round is rolling
Premier, Competitive or a Deathmatch warmup, DOR starts recording the moment CS2 is up. Kills and deaths are detected and cut into per round clips, so finding your ace never means scrubbing a demo.

How highlight clips work →Cut your frag movie in the browser
Drop a shake zoom just before the AWP flick and stamp the round score as text. DOR Studio runs in your browser, so merging clips from several matches over a track and exporting 16:9 takes minutes.

Counter-Strike recording troubleshooting
Counter-Strike 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.
Counter-Strike 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 Counter-Strike 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 Counter-Strike session.
Counter-Strike recording FAQ
How do I record CS2 gameplay without OBS?
Run DOR in the background. It starts with CS2 and saves kills and deaths as clips, with no scenes or sources to configure.
Can I clip a CS2 demo or replay?
Yes. Play the demo in CS2 with DOR running and the playback is recorded, so you can trim any round into a clip.
What's the best CS2 clipping software for kills?
DOR detects your kills in CS2 and clips them for you, then lets you edit and share from the same app.
Is it safe to use in Premier?
DOR only captures video and sound. It has no cheat features and never modifies game files or gameplay data.
How do I turn CS2 clips into Shorts?
Open the clip in DOR Studio, switch the frame to 9:16 and export. A punch zoom on the final kill helps it land on vertical screens.
Are CS2 aces saved automatically?
Yes. Kill and assist events are detected, so ace rounds are clipped automatically.
Does it work in Premier mode?
DOR records video in any mode, has no cheat features and never modifies game files or your gameplay data.
Can I keep highlights without demo files?
Yes. Clips are saved automatically, no demo downloads needed.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
DOR is free and adds no watermark.
Will it drop frames while playing Counter-Strike?
DOR uses low-overhead background capture, so the impact on in-game FPS is negligible.
What specs do I need?
Windows 10 or later runs DOR on most machines. Low-spec PCs can use 720p/30fps mode.
Can I change the Counter-Strike recording key?
You can remap the clip-save and manual-record keys to any key in DOR settings.
Where are my recorded clips saved?
Clips are organized in the DOR app library and can be shared to the DOR community or via link.
Is there a limit on recording time or clip count?
No time or count limits. Auto-manage is on by default, so once your storage limit (30GB by default) fills up, the oldest recordings you have not liked are cleared first.
