Video demo
Requirements
-
Windows x64.
-
An NVIDIA GPU with NVENC support and a recent NVIDIA driver.
To check your GPU, run
nvidia-smiin Command Prompt and find its model in the NVIDIA Video Encode and Decode GPU Support Matrix. Check thatH.264 (AVC) YUV 4:2:0is markedYES. -
FFmpeg, which is used to create the final MP4 file. It is not bundled and must be installed separately.
Set environment variable FFMPEG_PATH to the absolute path of the FFmpeg bin
folder containing ffmpeg.exe before starting Valheim. For example, in
PowerShell:
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("FFMPEG_PATH", "C:\tools\ffmpeg\bin", "User")

| Section | Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Controls |
CaptureModeShortcut |
F8 |
Starts or stops Capture Mode. |
CinematicCameraRendering |
MaximumFrameRate |
SameAsGame |
Sets 30, 60, or SameAsGame. The latter preserves active VSync, or limits the game and video to 60 FPS when VSync is off. |
CinematicCameraRendering |
ShowFrameRate |
false |
Shows the cinematic-camera FPS counter in the top-left corner. |
Recording |
Quality |
Medium |
Sets the recording quality to Low, Medium, High, or Highest. Lower values reduce file size and encoding load. |
GameplayCamera |
IncludeUI |
true |
Shows UI while Valheim displays its mouse cursor or a runestone text. Otherwise gameplay shots have no UI. When false, these interactions do not force gameplay cuts. The Escape menu always uses the cinematic camera. |
WorldRendering |
GrassDistance |
0 |
Sets grass draw distance in meters for gameplay and the cinematic camera. 0 keeps Valheim's original distance. Higher values can reduce performance. |
Director |
MinimumShotDuration |
8 |
Sets the minimum shot duration in seconds. |
Director |
MaximumShotDuration |
15 |
Sets the maximum shot duration in seconds. |
Performance recommendation
SagaCapture uses the current game resolution. Keep the game fast enough to
maintain the selected recording rate of 30 or 60 FPS. If needed, lower the game
resolution from 4K (2160p) to 2K (1440p) or Full HD (1080p). Prefer a
native resolution when performance allows it.
