How to clip Elden Ring on PC

Updated 5 November 2026

Elden Ring clips are first kills and near misses: a boss beaten after dozens of tries, a parry into a riposte, an invader turned away. Clippy records in the background with a replay long enough for a full boss fight, so you press one key after the kill and the whole attempt is saved.

Clip Elden Ring in four steps

Download Clippy and open it once. It sits in the tray from then on.
Start Elden Ring. 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.

Elden Ring moments worth clipping

A boss beaten after many attempts, on one sliver of health.
A parry into a critical hit at the perfect moment.
An invasion won, or turned around on the invader.
A jump or ledge that ends in a long fall.
A hidden area or secret wall found by accident.

Good Clippy settings for Elden Ring

Replay length 5 minutes

Elden Ring boss fights can run for minutes, and a long buffer means the first-kill clip includes the whole fight.

Frame rate 60 fps

Elden Ring runs at up to 60 fps on PC, and recording faster than the game renders only repeats frames.

Save key A controller button

Many players use a pad for Elden Ring, and a spare button saves the kill while the victory text is still on screen.

How Clippy records Elden Ring

Elden Ring is on Steam, and Clippy knows tens of thousands of Steam games by name, so recording starts as soon as the game opens.

Clippy records the Elden Ring window only, through Windows Graphics Capture, and does not inject anything into 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.

Questions

How do I clip a whole Elden Ring boss fight?

Set the replay length to a few minutes in Settings, which shows the memory it takes, and press your save key after the kill.

Can I put my reaction on an Elden Ring clip?

Yes. Clippy can record your webcam alongside the game, and in the editor you place it as a picture-in-picture.

Can I mark each phase of an Elden Ring boss?

Yes. Add chapters in the editor to mark each phase and jump between them.
