How to clip Cyberpunk 2077 on PC
Updated 5 November 2026
Cyberpunk 2077 clips are both action and scenery: a fight cleared with quickhacks and slowed time, a car chase through Night City in the rain, a view that shows off your graphics settings. Clippy records while you play, so you press one key and keep it.
Clip Cyberpunk 2077 in four steps
- Download Clippy and open it once. It sits in the tray from then on.
- Start Cyberpunk 2077. Clippy sees the game start and begins keeping the last minute in memory, with nothing to set up.
- When something happens worth keeping, press F8. That minute is saved as an MP4 named after the game and the time.
- Open the clip in Clippy to trim it, then press Share for a link, or export it vertical for TikTok, Shorts and Reels.
Cyberpunk 2077 moments worth clipping

- A slow-motion fight where you dodge everything.
- A car or bike chase through Night City.
- A view of the city at night or in the rain.
- A physics or NPC glitch that turns a mission into a comedy.
Good Clippy settings for Cyberpunk 2077
Fights and chases in Cyberpunk 2077 build for a while, and two minutes keeps the run-up.
Cyberpunk 2077 is demanding, and Settings shows the frame rate the game is really delivering so you do not record more frames than it draws.
Night City is a showcase game, and recording at your screen's own resolution keeps the detail you turned the settings up for.
How Clippy records Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is on Steam, and Clippy knows tens of thousands of Steam games by name, so recording starts when it loads.
Clippy captures the game window only through Windows Graphics Capture and injects nothing into the game. Encoding runs on your graphics card in a process separate from the game.
Sharing is up to you: clips stay on your disk until you press Share, and a link plays for anyone without an account. Too big for Discord? See sending clips under the size limit.
