  • can reset and retry without disruption
  • respectful to public game players

plan before executing​

  • know your shot beforehand
  • practice camera movement
  • test different angles
  • scout locations first

test your settings​

  • find comfortable movement speed
  • test fov ranges
  • verify all features work
  • check recording software compatibility

recording workflow​

before recording​

  1. position your character appropriately
  2. start recording software
  3. take a deep breath
  4. press z to activate lcs

during recording​

  2. maintain smooth, deliberate motion
  3. avoid sudden changes

  2. stop recording software
  3. review footage immediately
  4. note what worked and what didn't

common mistakes​

moving too fast​

  • viewers need time to process
  • fast movement = motion sickness
  • use slower speeds for most shots

shaky camera​

  • avoid jerky mouse movements
  • use gamepad for smoothest rotation

poor planning​

  • winging it rarely works
  • plan your shots

  • increase graphics settings for better footage

  • note which features were used
  • keep track of good locations
  • maintain a shot list

efficiency​

  • batch similar shots together
  • reuse good camera positions
  • learn your comfortable speeds
  • develop muscle memory for controls

troubleshooting workflow​

if something doesn't work​

  1. press z to toggle off
  2. check console for errors
  3. press z to toggle back on
  4. if still broken, rejoin game

if footage looks wrong​

  • check recording settings
  • verify lcs features activated
  • review camera movement

if performance is poor​
