Common questions about game clippers and clipping on Mac.
A game clipper is a type of software that continuously records your screen in the background, allowing you to instantly save a video of the last few moments of gameplay by pressing a hotkey. This is different from traditional screen recorders, which only record when you manually start and stop them. A game clipper is essential for capturing unexpected, epic moments without impacting game performance. ClipMac is the most powerful and easy-to-use game clipper designed specifically for Mac.
