How it works
Always rolling. Saved only when you want.
The replay buffer records to a small rolling cache on your drive. Nothing is kept until you press your bind.
1
Play anything
SLAME sits in your tray and records the last minutes on your GPU's encoder, so your FPS stays put.
2
Press your bind
F8 saves the last 30 seconds. Alt+F8 saves 2 minutes. Set as many binds and lengths as you like.
3
Edit & share
Trim, caption and export in the built-in editor, or upload and send a link that plays in any browser.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing in your way.
Global, custom binds
Assign, change or remove hotkeys. They work while you're in-game, each with its own length.
Separate audio tracks
Game audio and your mic are recorded on their own tracks, with device selection and volume.
Hardware encoding
Auto-detects your CPU, GPU and encoders, then recommends the best settings. Falls back safely if one fails.
Built-in editor
Trim, split, combine, crop, speed ramps, text, transitions and multi-format export.
Smart gallery

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is SLAME free?
Yes. SLAME itself is free with no account and no watermark. If you turn on link sharing, your clips are hosted on your own storage — Cloudflare R2 is free up to 10 GB, then about $0.015 per GB per month, and viewers watching costs nothing.
Will it lower my FPS?
On GPUs with a hardware encoder (NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF, Intel Quick Sync) the impact is typically a few percent, because encoding runs on a dedicated chip. SLAME recommends settings for your PC automatically.
Does it work in fullscreen games?
Yes — binds are global, so they work in any game. Capture uses Windows Desktop Duplication, which records borderless and most fullscreen games. The on-screen “Clip saved” toast is visible in borderless/windowed mode; in exclusive fullscreen you'll hear the clip sound.
Where are my clips saved?
In Videos\SLAME by default — change it any time in Settings › Storage. Exports go to an Exports subfolder.
Can I record my mic and game separately?
Yes. Each clip has a mixed track for easy playback plus separate Game and Microphone tracks, so you can rebalance them later in the editor.
How do share links work?
SLAME uploads the clip to your share server and gives you a link to a browser player. Set it up once in the Sharing tab (about 5 minutes on Cloudflare). You can disable downloads or delete a link whenever you want.
Why does Windows warn me when installing?
New installers that aren't yet code-signed with an established certificate trigger SmartScreen. Click More info → Run anyway. The download's SHA-256 checksum is listed below the button so you can verify it.
