Recording from the Recorder window

The Recorder window allows you to set up a list of Recorders to capture and export various types of data from your current Scene, in Play mode. This window includes recording controls that allow you to start and stop your recordings according to a specified frame or time interval, or manually.

Note: If you installed Timeline, you can control your recordings through Recorder Clips in Timeline tracks instead of the Recorder window.

Opening the Recorder window

To open the Recorder window, navigate to the Unity Editor main menu and select Window > General > Recorder > Recorder window.

When you open the Recorder window, Unity restores the values from the last recording session.
