[GTA 5 Recorder] How to Record in GTA 5 on Windows?

There are many game recording apps on the market and each recorder has its pros and cons. Based on my personal experience, WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is a good choice for Windows users. It can not only record GTA V but all the Grand Theft Auto series at high frame rate with no lag and watermark. Besides, it can capture live streams, online conferences, and other videos on your PC with ease.

This powerful gameplay recorder supports recording videos in MP4/AVI/MKV/MOV format, which helps you avoid most compatibility issues. If you prefer other formats’ recording, you can use the Converter to convert MP4 to HEVC and other 500+ presets. The self-explanatory interface makes it hassle-free for everyone to record GTA 5 gameplay.

Now, install the GTA 5 recording software and see how to record GTA V with simple clicks.

Launch HD Video Converter Factory Pro and click on the Recorder to open the recorder window.

At the top of the Screen Recorder, click the gamepad shaped icon to select the game recording mode. Then click the first option to record the window of your Grand Theft Auto V gameplay or click the second one to record the whole screen of your PC. You can also drag the borders to adjust the recording region. When you’re done, press OK to save the change.

Select a recording format, quality, and output folder or just leave it as default.

Tick the checkbox in front of the Desktop (system sound) and Microphone (external voice) to record audio in the game.

When all the settings are ok, specify an output path to store your recording. Then hit the red REC icon to start recoding Grand Theft Auto V (with audio) after five seconds countdown. Press Ctrl + F1 to stop recording.

Among the GTA series, only GTA 5 on the PC version has the built-in camera called Rockstar Editor. Here is the method of GTA 5 PC recording with it:

Step 1. Start playing GTA 5 on your PC. Push down Alt to turn on the “Manual Recording mode”;
Step 2. Press F1 to capture the game screen. Cancel or stop recording by hitting F2;
Step 3. Press Left Alt and F1 to save the recording. You can also edit the recording in Rockstar Editor, then export the video to your PC.

If you want to record other GTA series, the screen recorder used in the last part is the best solution that you can’t miss.

Sometimes people are confused about the start/stop recording steps, although it’s very straightforward.

For Windows PC: Press Alt + F2 to stop GTA 5 recording.

For Xbox One/PS4: Press the Down button on the D-Pad to bring up the character switch menu on consoles. Then click the corresponding button to stop recording.
