Every clip in one library

Clips are named after their game and sorted by day. Trim with two handles, star the keepers and publish several at once; uploads wait while a game is open.

Anti-cheat

Glint never touches the game process. It records the window through Windows Graphics Capture, the same API the Xbox Game Bar uses, with no injection, no memory reading and no overlay. It was tested with Vanguard running.

What Glint does while you play. Mostly on the GPU.

Joins kills into one clip

F9 saves 8 seconds before the kill and 2 after. Another kill within 6 seconds grows it to x2.

  • Kill clip saved, x3Red Eclipse, 14 seconds
  • Kill clip saved, x2Unvanquished, 12 seconds
  • Clip savedSpeed Dreams, 60 seconds

Encodes on your graphics card

AMD AMF, NVIDIA NVENC or Intel Quick Sync records HEVC at 1080p60, and the recorder uses about 1% of the CPU.

Links that play inside Discord

Publish exports only the trimmed part as H.264 and uploads it in parts, picking up where it stopped if the connection drops. Paste the link and the clip plays in the chat.

  • Visible to you, to anyone with the link, or to everyone
  • Export MP4 saves the trim to disk and publishes nothing
  • Your profile shows “Clipping Red Eclipse with Glint”

Your own link server on Cloudflare’s free plan

Each player or group deploys a small Worker with D1 and R2, then pastes its address into Settings, Server. Sign-in is Discord only; the first person in becomes admin.

Without a server Glint still records, trims and exports MP4, with no account at all.

Questions

The short answers. The README has the rest.

WindowsGitHub
Ask on GitHub

Vanguard and anti-cheat

Safe in VALORANT too. Glint never touches the game; it records the window the way Xbox Game Bar does. It was tested with Vanguard on, though no anti-cheat vendor has endorsed it.

Frame rate while recording

About 1% on average in a synthetic test. The encoder runs on a separate part of the GPU.

The installer warning

It is not code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway; releases are built by CI from tagged commits.

Linux and Mac

Not supported today. Glint runs on Windows 10 and 11 only.

Price and licence

Free. The code is open source under MIT or Apache-2.0.
