Where Does Medal Save Game Clips?
Medal saves game clips to its library folder on PC, with cloud uploads tied to your Medal account. Trimmed highlights share from the app.
Last updated
Medal keeps a local clip library on the PC plus cloud copies under your account. Recordings land in the library folder as normal video files, viewable outside the app. Uploads happen in the background for sharing links.
Settings decide the folder, quality, and which games trigger auto clips. New PCs pull shared clips from the account but not the full local history, so copy the library folder for a complete move. Keep the app updated; capture hooks break on major game patches until Medal ships a fix.
Where Medal stores this, by platform
%userprofile%\Videos\Medal\
Local video files plus cloud copies under your account. Set the folder in Medal settings before long sessions. Copy the library for full moves; the account restores shares only.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change where Medal clips go?
Open Medal settings and read the library path, which defaults into Videos. Change it before long sessions since high-bitrate clips fill small drives fast. Cloud uploads mirror the local files for sharing and backup.
Does Medal clip automatically?
Yes, through clipping hotkeys and auto-event detection per game. The app watches supported titles and cuts highlights itself. Review the auto clips in the library; detection misses quiet clutch moments worth saving by hand.
