What Segra is

Segra is free, open-source software for recording PC games, capturing recent moments, editing clips, and sharing uploads. Players can bookmark moments with a hotkey, while automatic highlights can detect kills, assists, and deaths in selected games and combine kills into a highlight video. The site says Segra can record games that run on a PC, with automatic clipping available for selected games. Capture is listed at up to 4K and 144 FPS, with GPU encoding and multiple recording modes. The project README lists H.264, HEVC, and AV1 encoding, multiple audio devices, separate audio tracks, and microphone noise suppression. Segra is built on OBS and uses FFmpeg for video and image encoding. It is available for Windows 10/11, with a minimum requirement of Windows 10 64-bit version 1903 or newer; Linux support is described as early alpha and may have broken or missing features. The software is open source under GPLv2. Its privacy policy says uploaded videos may be stored outside the EU through a CDN.
