Requirements:

Steps:

  • Download, install, and open OBS
  • Set up OBS:
    • In the upper left, click "File" > then click "Settings"
    • A "Settings" window will pop-up; along the left-side pane, click "Output"
    • Within "Output", you will see "Output Mode" at the top, with a drop-down box set to "Simple"
      • Change "Simple" to "Advanced"
      • Four tabs will show up now, under "Output Mode" ("Streaming", "Recording", "Audio", "Replay Buffer")
      • click "Recording"; you will see "Recording Path" under "Recording Settings" > click "Browse" button on the right to set the location on your computer you want your replays to be saved.
      • Adobe Premiere users only for "Recording Format", set it to "MPEG-TS (.ts)" if you want to import your replay clips hassle-free into Premiere.
      • click "Replay Buffer" > check the box that says "Enable Replay Buffer"
      • for "Maximum Replay Time", your choice — I set mine to 24s (seconds), the length of the shot clock, but you can experiment with longer/shorter replays
    • Look back at the left-side pane, and find "Hotkeys"
      • Scroll down to the section "Replay Buffer", and find "Save Replay"
      • Set a hotkey (keyboard shortcut) for how you want to save replays (mine is "Ctrl + Shift + S")
    • Click "OK" to save your settings, which will close the "Settings" window
  • Locate the tab "Sources" on the lower-left
    • Click the "+" button
    • Click "Window Capture" > click "OK" on the pop-up "Create/Select Source"
    • For "Window" set the drop-down box to the browser window you have the game open on (ie "[firefox.exe]:..."
    • Uncheck the box "Capture Cursor" so your mouse doesn't show up in the replay
    • Click "OK"
  • Locate the tab "Audio Mixer" to the right of the "Sources" tab
    • Verify that there's audio being captured under "Desktop Audio" (you should see the horizontal bars moving)
    • Verify the microphone icon is neutral-colored with 2 waves; not red with an "X" — click to toggle the audio being recorded or muted.
  • Locate the tab "Controls" in the lower right:
    • Under the "Controls" header, locate the button "Start Replay Buffer"
    • To save a replay
      • Press the download icon to the right of "Stop Replay Buffer"
      • Input the hotkey you set above (ie mine was "Ctrl + Shift + S"
    • Confirm your replay is saved by looking at the bottom-left corner of the screen — it should say "Replay buffer saved to '...'"
  • Enjoy the game in full-screen while being ready to clip replays:
    • right-click the center of the screen (where you have a preview of the recording)
    • Click "Fullscreen Projector (Preview)
    • Now the game will be in full-screen, but if you input your "Save Replay" hotkey, you'll be saving your replays
  • Upload to r/nba
    • Go to https://streamable.com/ or https://streamin.me/
      • Streamable links on reddit show up in a convenient, in-feed playable thumbnail — but I've heard from users on the sub that it's blocked in some countries so it's not accessible; additionally Streamable has options to "trim" and "merge" clips in-browser, which is convenient.
      • Streamin.me doesn't load an in-feed playable thumbnail based on my experience, but I've heard it doesn't have regional restrictions.
    • Click "upload video" / "select or drop video here" and locate your video, then create the video.
    • Copy the video URL, and submit it to Reddit as a link post
      • Format is "[Highlight]" followed by the description of the replay (ie "[Highlight] Marcus Smart scores his first basket for the Grizzlies")
      • Your post should get auto-flaired in blue as a Highlight

Additional Steps:

If you are multi-tasking while watching the game (ie have other audio playing) — you can follow these steps to isolate the audio output from the game in your replay.

  • Download and install win-capture-audio
  • Locate the tab "Sources" on the lower-left
    • Click the "+" button
    • Click "Application Audio Capture (BETA)" > click "OK" on the pop-up "Create/Select Source"
    • For "Window" set the drop-down box to the browser window you have the game open on (ie "[firefox.exe]:..."
    • Click "OK"
  • Verify the audio is being isolated by trialing
    • ie play multiple sources of audio and save a replay, then play it back to confirm.
