Action! - Gameplay Recording and Streaming

What happened with the facebook streams? Seems like I can't even do it anymore.

Steam can't beat OBS

Can't stream with it anymore. It got so bad, that I had to go back to using OBS. Fix it and I'll probably go back to using this software.

antes era el mejor capturador de video que habia probado pero ahora no puede ni acceder a cuentas de youtube, twitch y si grabo mas de una hora desfasa el audio y hay que empatar en edicion, ademas de constantes crasheos y perdida de archivos

Action! by Mirillis is a dedicated gameplay recording and streaming software available on Steam, designed for PC users looking for a streamlined yet feature-rich capture solution. It offers high-performance screen recording with support for up to 4K and even 8K resolution in AVI formats, and it’s especially popular among gamers and content creators who want a reliable alternative to more complex tools like OBS. One of its most attractive features is the ease of use—users often praise its clean interface, intuitive controls, and quick setup. The software is not subscription-based, making it a one-time purchase, which adds to its appeal for those who prefer permanent licenses over ongoing payments. Performance-wise, Action! stands out thanks to its proprietary FICV codec, which provides high-quality video compression while keeping CPU usage to a minimum. Hardware acceleration support through NVENC, Intel Quick Sync, and AMD APP ensures that even demanding recording sessions run smoothly on most systems. The ability to monitor frame rate, resolution, and recording status through an on-screen HUD is especially handy for gamers who don't have a second screen to manage live recordings. These optimizations make the program feel light and efficient, even during long capture sessions. Beyond just recording, Action! includes a broad set of features for advanced users. Time-shift recording allows you to save the last few minutes of gameplay instantly, while webcam overlay with green screen support is perfect for streamers. Audio capture is handled with flexibility, allowing users to separate system and microphone tracks for easier post-editing. Real-time drawing tools, customizable hotkeys, and direct upload capabilities to platforms like YouTube and Facebook further extend its utility. The addition of a mobile companion app that lets users control recordings remotely adds another layer of convenience for creators working with multiple screens or devices. That said, the software isn’t without its drawbacks. Some users have encountered issues with playback, where videos recorded at higher resolutions or for long durations stutter or appear corrupted in external players. In certain cases, temporary files fail to finalize properly, resulting in empty or unusable clips. There have also been instances where Action! defaulted to the wrong GPU on systems with multiple graphics processors, causing performance issues unless manually corrected. These aren’t universal problems but are worth noting for users who may not want to troubleshoot hardware or codec settings. When compared to other recording tools, including Steam’s own built-in game recording feature, Action! offers more control and significantly more recording options. Steam’s recording utility is convenient and easy to use but is limited in terms of resolution, customization, and streaming features. Action! delivers higher output quality, finer audio/video controls, and more flexibility for creators who need more than just basic capture. Overall, Action! is a strong choice for gamers and streamers looking for a capable, professional-grade recording tool that balances performance with usability. It may require a bit of fine-tuning on some systems, but once set up, it offers a robust platform for high-quality gameplay recording. For those serious about content creation and willing to dive into its feature set, it presents a worthwhile investment with long-term value. Rating: 8/10
