Vid, a film set for recording gameplay

• Gear & loot
• Characters & skills
• Performance & tools

Open the console (` or F1) and type vid. The HUD goes, along with damage numbers and loot labels, and time keeps running. Every vid key sits on a key the game doesn't use, so you can still play your character while you film. vid again leaves.

• Recording (F9). Frames are taken at 30 fps (vid fps 60 for more) together with the game's own sound.
  • Each frame keeps its real timing, so the video plays at true speed even if the game hitches.
  • With ffmpeg on your PATH (or vid ffmpeg <path>), the MP4 is made in the background as soon as you stop, and the frames are tidied away. Without it, the folder has a (and .sh) to run later.
  • Recordings go to. vid res 1080 sets the output height, and vid format png saves lossless frames.
  • While recording, the window title shows ● REC and the time. Nothing on screen gets into the video.
• Seven cameras (F10, Shift+F10 back):
  • game: what you see when you play.
  • follow: the game camera, smoothed and heavy.
  • orbit: circles you, or you and the enemy you're locked on to. Set it with vid orbit <radius> <speed> <height>.
  • shoulder: close over the right shoulder, looking where you aim.
  • tripod: stays where it was and turns to follow you.
  • free: flies like photo mode, but glides.
  • path: a dolly move. Press Insert to drop a key where the camera is (from any camera), Delete to clear the keys, and F6 to play the path. Shift+F6 plays it and records it, stopping at the end. vid path 8 sets the length in seconds.
• Autopilot:
  • F7 fights: finds the nearest enemy, locks on and fights the way your weapon does:
  • blades close in with light, light, heavy, and guard or roll a wind-up;
  • bows keep their distance, then draw, hold and loose;
  • muskets shoulder, fire and reload;
  • staffs cast, with a nova when something gets close.
  • It's in god mode while it fights (vid god off to risk it).
  • F8 poses, for when there's nothing to fight: aim (bow or musket raised, a blade on guard), draw (a bow at full draw, held), block, walk, and circle (strides round its target).
• Time: PgUp and PgDn step slow motion (×1, ½, ¼, 1/10). End freezes time. Both are solo only.
• Frame guides (Home):
  • full;
  • 9:16 portrait for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, which crops the recording and dims what's outside it;
  • 2.39:1 widescreen bars;
  • 1:1 square.
• Depth of field (Shift+Home): focus follows your character.
• Also: F12 takes a still. F2 lists every key. vid help lists every setting.
