Replay: how it works

Four steps to a gaming video.

Follow the run from the moment you pick to the file you post. Each checkpoint is one job.

  1. 00:00 Pick the moment

    Choose one clutch, boss kill or speedrun split. Not the whole session. The tighter the moment, the stronger the cut.

  2. 00:15 Describe it in the prompt

    Name the game, the mood and the pace. Say which beat to slow down. Frameo plans the shots from your words.

  3. 00:30 Choose format and length

    Pick 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts and TikTok. Set the length to match the moment.

  4. 00:45 Cut, add music, export

    Trim dead time, drop in a track, then share or download. The replay ends here.

Gaming highlight before and after

Drag the scrubber: raw capture to highlight.

Scrub through the replay. On the left, a flat capture of the moment. On the right, the same scene cut as a highlight.

Raw captureHighlight cut

Slow-mo on the kill, a punch-in zoom, a color grade and a title card: same moment, now a highlight.

Gaming video tips

Five rules for a gaming clip that holds.

  • Hook in the first second.
  • Cut dead time between fights.
  • Match cuts to the beat.
  • Keep the HUD readable on a phone.
  • One moment per Short.

Put these in your prompt and Frameo cuts to them.

Gaming video questions

Frameo makes gaming videos from your description, so you can start without any footage. To rebuild a video you already have with new characters or a new setting, use Remix a Video, which keeps its structure.

Use 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Shorts and TikTok. Made a 16:9 cut you like? It can be reframed to 9:16 without cropping.

As long as your best moments last, and no longer. Cut every second of dead time, and keep one moment per Short.

Yes. You can add music in the cut and end on a title card with your channel name.

Your best play is already recorded. Make the video tonight.
