The PS4 allows users to create, edit, and upload game play videos. Videos may be uploaded from in-game or created in-game and then later uploaded out of game from the desktop.
Tapping the Share button in-game retrieves up to fifteen minutes of previous gameplay and opens a menu allowing the user to Upload a Video Clip, Screenshot, or Broadcast Gameplay. Select Upload a Video Clip, then select the appropriate gameplay clip. Note that video records in compressed 720p, so 1080p native games will not appear like they do while playing.
Uploaders may add a title and comment to videos.
Using the Options button in the Share Settings menu allows a user to toggle PS4 mic audio and display in-game icons denoting scenes blocked from recording by developers. Video clips may also be trimmed and edited through a simple menu interface before uploading. Only one video may be uploaded at a time.
Alternative ways of recording footage can be accessed by pressing the Share button in various ways. While a simple tap of the Share button will bring up the common scenario above, a quick double tap of the Share button can mark the starting point of a clip, and pressing it again will cease recording.
Please note that this feature is at the discretion of the developers. Some footage that you shoot may be intentionally omitted from view by the developers to avoid spoiling the game for others. Scenes like story-based cut-scenes may be automatically trimmed from your recording session.
