How to clip Genshin Impact on PC

Updated 5 November 2026

Genshin Impact clips are wishes, bosses and the world itself: a five-star pull, an Abyss floor cleared with seconds left, a view from a mountain top. Clippy records while you play, so you press one key and the moment is saved.

Clip Genshin Impact in four steps

  1. Download Clippy and open it once. It sits in the tray from then on.
  2. Start Genshin Impact. Clippy sees the game start and begins keeping the last minute in memory, with nothing to set up.
  3. When something happens worth keeping, press F8. That minute is saved as an MP4 named after the game and the time.
  4. Open the clip in Clippy to trim it, then press Share for a link, or export it vertical for TikTok, Shorts and Reels.

Genshin Impact moments worth clipping

  • A wish animation that turns gold for a five-star character.
  • A Spiral Abyss chamber cleared with seconds to spare.
  • An elemental reaction combo that deals a huge damage number.
  • A weekly boss taken down with a new team.
  • A view or a glide across the map worth sharing.

Good Clippy settings for Genshin Impact

Replay length 2 minutes

Abyss chambers and boss fights run a while, and two minutes keeps a full clear.

Frame rate 60 fps

Genshin Impact is commonly played at 60 fps on PC, and recording faster than the game renders only repeats frames.

Second save key Last 15 seconds

A wish animation is short, and a 15 second clip catches the gold star without the menu around it.

How Clippy records Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is built with Unity, and Clippy recognises Unity games by how they are built, so recording starts without adding the game by hand.

Only the game window is recorded, through Windows Graphics Capture, and nothing is injected into the game process.

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 record my Genshin Impact wishes?

Keep Clippy running while you wish and press your save key after the animation. A second, shorter key can keep only the last 15 seconds.

Can I clip Genshin Impact with a controller?

Yes. Save keys can be a controller button, a keyboard key or a mouse side button.

Can I take a screenshot of my team in Genshin Impact?

Yes. Clippy has a screenshot key that saves a PNG or JPEG still.
