Recca is designed specifically for gamers who enjoy fighting games and want to effortlessly capture their game replays without the hassle of having to:
- Manually set up OBS and it's corrispondent audio/video sources
- Start and stop a recording during key moments
- Edit/Trim the video to ensure only the essential parts of the matches have been captured
- Upload the file to a video hosting platform
- Store and managing long and often storage-heavy replays
-
Automatic OBS Setup/Integration:
Recca is programmed to automatically set up all the necessary OBS audio and video scenes, while ensuring that no other applications or windows are captured.
Recca connects to OBS using its provided WebSocket, and it can find the specific game's process and create an OBS scene from it.
(NOTE: It may resize non-traditional resolutions to 1080p.) -
OpenCV Template Matching:
Utilizing OpenCV, Recca searches for predefined images matching the selected game's match start/stop screen.
The software is smart enough to detect premature match disconnections and crashes; if that's the case, it will simply end the recording prematurely and discard it. -
Uploads:
Recca gives you the choice of where to upload the replays. It currently supports seamless uploads on *YouTube and Streamable. With both options, the video can be easily embedded in pretty much every major messaging application or social network. -
Replay Management:
Once a replay is saved and uploaded, the recorded file can optionally be automatically deleted from your PC to save storage space.
-
Connect to OBS:
Upon opening the program, navigate to the settings tab and follow the *easy instructions to connect to OBS. -
Game Selection:
Choose from a list of supported games within the app.
Recca will handle the setup and configuration for the selected game on its own. -
Detection:
The app uses OpenCV's template matching feature to detect when a match starts and ends (either normally or through disconnections/errors). -
Recording:
After a match has been found on the game window, the program will trigger OBS to start a new recording with the following presets :
{
"Resolution": "1920 x 1080",
"Framerate": "60fps",
"Quality": "Medium Quality" // This assures that a 5ish min replay always average about 300/400 MBs
}- Seamless Experience:
Recca aims to not be intrusive at all! Just open the program, specify the game you want to play, and enjoy!
- Upload your own image templates to adjust the replay detection and record whatever game you prefer.
- Detect players names and characters to create custom thumbnails.
