I installed PREC a few days ago and I had some really good highlights that I want to finally start making content with but I just run into error after error after error, like my install directory is wrong no matter where I put it or that it's recording and it actually isn't and so on. All of the support threads are from 5+ years ago and I just want to get off the demo files and into Sony Vegas.

I'm an editor, so the initial quality of my recordings is going to get re-compressed and messed up with effects pretty harshly. Since I am having so many problems with this software does anyone know if I can bypass the recording function with this other software while having the quality config ect, and have little downsides? It doesn't need to be in depth or anything.

theres a BUNCH of dummy useful things for recording that dont ever come up in editting threads. I spent a few hours just scrolling through tftvs top posts and found a bunch of old tutorials or tools for niche shit. IIRC the same guy that put out the AVIrecorder had a dedicated tool for dealing with lawneas output and i want to say another recording tool for source but can't recall off the top of my head.

answer to the thread title is yes, you definitely can. if you need like 600 fps footage you can just record it at 10% speed at 60fps. if you need help with file directories in lawena, your TGA folder NEEDS to be within your tf folder.

i will say though, lawena slowing down demos and writing a shitton of frames is REALLY helpful for reducing visual demo lag. i don’t know if this same effect can be achieved through slowing the demo down and recording with shadowplay

Yes, I've done it before. I would recommend to record at least at 1440p because 1080 shadowplay footage looks very bad on youtube.

I made a tutorial recently covering how to use Lawena and AVIRecorder together as I've also noticed a lack of good guides out there atm, here it is - https://youtu.be/d5oYFrrNDpQ - This covers how to use them together for an efficient workflow but IIRC you can use AVIRecorder by itself if Lawena is totally f'd up on your computer for some reason.

It's also worth taking a look at ryukbot for recording demos, though I haven't tried that myself.
