Clippy vs AMD Software Instant Replay (Radeon)
AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition includes recording and instant replay for Radeon graphics cards. Clippy does the same job on any graphics card, and adds an editor and a share link.
What Clippy does
- Works with AMD, NVIDIA and Intel graphics, encoding on the card with AMF, NVENC or Quick Sync.
- Records the game window rather than the whole screen.
- One key (F8 by default) saves the last minute, up to three minutes.
- An editor to trim, add chapters, change speed, export a GIF and rebalance game, desktop and mic tracks (separate tracks on Windows 11).
- One link to share, with clean embeds on Discord and X. Viewers need no account.
- Free, with no watermark.
Where AMD Software is different
- Part of the driver software you already have on a Radeon card, so there is nothing extra to install.
- Only for AMD graphics.
- Capture and streaming sit in the same panel as the rest of the driver settings.

Which one fits
Pick Clippy if you want the same tool whichever graphics card you have next, or an editor and a share link built in. Stay with AMD Software if you are on Radeon and only need local files.
Switching from AMD Software?
Clippy can copy MP4 and MKV clips from any folder on your PC into its library, so your old Radeon clips can come along with their original dates. How clip import works.
