Save frames from the Game View when on play mode.

// C# Example
// Simple script that saves frames from the Game View when on play mode
//
// You can put later the frames together and create a video.
// Note: The frames are saved next to the Assets folder.

using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;

public class SimpleRecorder : EditorWindow { string fileName = "FileName";

string status = "Idle"; string recordButton = "Record"; bool recording = false; float lastFrameTime = 0.0f; int capturedFrame = 0;

[MenuItem("Example/Simple Recorder")] static void Init() { SimpleRecorder window = (SimpleRecorder)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(SimpleRecorder)); window.Show(); }

void OnGUI() { fileName = EditorGUILayout.TextField("File Name:", fileName);

if (GUILayout.Button(recordButton)) { if (recording) //recording { status = "Idle..."; recordButton = "Record"; recording = false; } else // idle { capturedFrame = 0; recordButton = "Stop"; recording = true; } } EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Status: ", status); }
