Now, you'll be able to adjust more advanced video options, such as the frame rate, bit rate, video quality, etc. In addition, default options are set automatically based on your GPU, so you won't need to change any settings unless you want to.

3. The third step is to allocate the disk space and change the default folder for Apex Legends videos and clips recorded using the Outplayed. Make sure not to exceed your hard disk space, and select "Next" to move on.
4. You'll then get to the last part of the auto-configuration, where you'll be able to adjust the default keyboard shortcuts, which are optional. Finally, select "Done" to finalize the steps.

As you can tell from the screenshot, you'll now be able to select various capture modes and record highlights only, full Apex Legends match, full session (multiple matches), or manual record only.

Speaking of which, if you'd like to record Apex Legends videos or clips manually using the outplayed, hold down the Ctrl + F4 for videos or Ctrl + F3 for clips.
