Designed for checking fps in games. However, with its help, you can take high-quality pictures of the screen during gameplay, as well as record videos. In order for the footage to be of high quality, the user must correctly install and configure the program on his PC.

  Install and configure fraps on a PC running Windows 7 and above

Installing the program for checking fps and recording video from the screen is quite simple:

• Download Fraps and run the exe file. We accept the terms of the license agreement.

• Choose a place to unzip files.

• We are waiting for the installation to complete.

Now, to configure fraps on your computer and record video games, it’s worth setting the necessary parameters in all 4 sections of the program:

• General
• Movies

• Split movie every 4 gigabytes. This feature is very important. If you are going to record a 2-hour stream in high quality, you should indicate the length of time (in this case, the 4 GB volume), is it worth splitting the file into parts.
• Sound Capture Settings - sound recording settings.
• The Run Win7 Record item is responsible for the sound from the speakers. You can select “Stereo” and “Multichannel”.
• Record external input - turn on the microphone.
• “Do not display mouse cursor” is signed as “Hide mouse cursor in video”.

FPS Tab

Designed for testing. Fraps   computer graphics adapter by monitoring the number of frames per second ( fPS) The norm is 30 fps and higher. If this indicator is less than 30, then the game process will not be comfortable and will entail overheating of the video card with the ensuing consequences.

View performance counter

If Fraps performance counter display is turned on, it will be displayed not only during a video game, but also during video playback. That is, using Fraps software, you can make it so considered   performance when playing videos of different quality.

In this case, the number of frames per second will be measured when playing video with a resolution of 1920x804. The system has a central processor Intel Core i7 860 with a maximum frequency of 8.2 GHz. Counter considered   frames in the upper left corner, update once a second is included:

When you turn on the video, the number of frames per second is displayed (highlighted in green in the figure):

Fraps - a program for recording videos, creating screenshots, measuring FPS in computer games. A simple and understandable utility is mastered even by a beginner in half an hour. And our guide will help in the study of the "Fraps" functionality. Consider all the sections and features of the program in more detail, learn how to use it, how to record video and take screenshots.

Regardless of the version used (English, Russian or portable in any language), the set of functions remains the same. We will use Fraps in Russian. The crack is downloaded separately.

How to use the interface (settings)?

The main window of the program

Let's move on to parsing each tab. Let's start with the first - "The main thing." If you manage to Russify the interface, then you will see the following window:

The main part of the application window contains information about the developer, assembly, and version. Pay attention to the version number on the right. The number 3.5.99 indicates that you are using the latest Fraps update. Below are the options to configure the operating mode:

• running the program in minimized mode on the taskbar;
• fastening over any other windows;
• enable / disable the ability to run along with the start of Windows.

And a little lower two more settings:

• monitoring Windows Aero. When you enable the function, you can record the desktop.
• minimization on the taskbar. When you close the window on the "cross", the application is minimized to the system panel.

Before use, we recommend that you set the most convenient settings, as well as remove the checkmarks that you do not need. As a result, Fraps will not bother you when you turn on the PC, or vice versa - it will appear immediately in the "combat" mode.

FPS Tab

Now we pass to the main functionality. To clarify the name of the section, we decipher the abbreviation FPS - Frames Per Second. Frames Per Second is the number of frames per second currently being displayed on the screen. This indicator is the main when measuring the performance of games from any computer.

So, in the “FPS” tab are the following settings:

• folder for storing tests. This shows the path to the directory where Fraps saves the logs with the test results. You can change the destination folder or navigate to it using the “View” button.
• performance check. Here a key is assigned to enable / disable the test function. You can set another button or turn off the option completely.
• test settings. These three items select the contents of the test. At your discretion, the frequency and time of the frames, as well as a complete log with statistics, will be saved in the logs.
• test stop. If you activate this item and set the desired time in seconds, then after the selected period the testing will automatically end. Logging will also stop.

These parameters are responsible for setting up the test record and the displayed information. In the second half of the window, you can select the location of the overlay:

• overlay position change. Select a key to move the FPS counter.
• overlay position selection. You can move the counter in all 4 corners or completely disable it.
• refresh rate every second.

Overlay - part of the application window that overlays on top of another program / game.

Video Tab

The settings in this section allow you to record video from the screen. You can shoot videos from the desktop, in windows and any games. The program allows you to "frap" any games - projects from Steam, the SAMP server, the popular Skyrim, and so on. Regardless of whether a license or a pirate is being used.

Consider the possibilities of the section. You can configure the video with the following functions:

• folder for storage. As in the case of choosing a folder for test logs, a directory is selected where all entries are accumulated.
• Capture video. Key selection for start / stop and complete shutdown of the option.
• Video settings. The frame rate when recording the screen (60/50/30 / 29.97) and changing the video size allows not only to change the quality, but also to reduce the load on the computer when recording.
• Buffer update. The default is 30 seconds.
• Separation into files of 4 GB.

If you want to download videos to a device with the FAT32 file system, you need to enable the last option. FAT32 does not support working with files larger than 4GB.

Remember that when using the trial version, you are limited by the length of the video. We recommend downloading the full activated version to record endlessly. The only obstacle may be the amount of space on your hard drive, since clips from Fraps weigh a lot.

On the right in the “Video” tab there are sound parameters:

• sound settings (stereo, multi-channel and compatibility with Windows 7);
• external input recording allows you to add a microphone or webcam;
• select a key to activate audio capture from an external device.

And at the very bottom of the window there are 3 more parameters that affect the recording:

• hide / show cursor when recording;
• block frame rate;
• capture RGB without loss.

Screenshots Tab

Using the settings in this section, you can take a screenshot. Here all the necessary parameters are selected:

• path to the folder for storing images;
• assigning a key to create a snapshot
• image format selection;
• display overlay on the screenshot;
• re-capture the screen with a specified period of time (allows you to take a series of shots).

Fraps does not have additional windows with settings and hidden parameters - everything you need is listed above in the instructions. Now we will learn how to properly use all the functionality as intended.

How to use "fraps"?

The program runs in the background, so the user does not need to re-open it each time to record a video or take a screen.

Work with the FPS counter

Let's start in the same order in which the sections with the settings are considered. In order for Fraps to show the number of frames per second, just set the parameters in the application and start the game. Depending on the selected position, you will see a counter in one of the angles:

Performing any actions in the game, you will notice an instant change on the counter. For example, with a saturation of events or an increase in the quality of graphics, the FPS may decrease:

Also, the FPS can decrease if you test the computer for a long time in a demanding game - it can be affected by an increase in temperature and load on the hardware. If a person cannot notice it with his own eyes, then the counter allows you to track any changes in performance. The only case where a decrease in FPS can be seen with the naked eye is a drop below 30 frames per second.

If you assigned a special key in the settings, you can remove the inscription from the FPS at any time. Then a “clean” game window appears without the Fraps overlay.

If you change the location of the overlay through the program window, the counter will move immediately:

Reading logs

Let's move on to testing FPS. When you activate the test, the FPS counter turns green:

And when you press again (end of test) it will turn red for a while:

When saving logs and tables, the following files appear:

The name of the file with the extension .csv indicates the game in English, the exact date of creation and the type of information. For example, in the file with the postscript “FPS” you will see the FPS parameter in every second of the test:

A report with the “frametimes” subscript displays the frame rate in milliseconds. Through it, you can check at what exactly point in time the change occurred. It is valuable for testers and developers of computer games.

A file with the name “minmaxavg” displays the minimum, average and maximum value of frames with reference to time:

The third file is already text and with the name "FRAPSLOG.TXT". It contains information on all tests performed. To parse the string values, check out the decryption:

• Frames - total number of frames;
• Time - total testing time;
• Avg - average;
• Min - the minimum indicator;
• Max - the maximum indicator.

Also in front of these values \u200b\u200bis a line with the date and name of the game:

You can enable video recording by using the hotkey. When you click the overlay, Fraps will turn red - this means that the recording has started:

To end recording, press the same key again. To go to the folder with clips, use the “View” button in the “Fraps” window or open it manually. Here you will see a file with the name of the game and the date of recording:

The longer the length of the video and the higher the quality, the “heavier” the final file. If necessary, you can copy them to an external hard drive or use a converter to convert to another format.

Take screenshots

The procedure for creating images is almost no different from recording a video. Go to the window with the game and press the hot key once. The success of the operation is indicated by a white square on the overlay at the time of pressing.

Now go to the folder with screenshots and see here images with the name of the game and the time the file was created:

When you launch the application or enable video recording, a “FRAPS error 8” error may occur. You can fix the problem by updating the DirectX libraries.

Where are all the files stored?

You have several options for quickly navigating folders with videos and screenshots. The first is to manually open the directory. It is located in the folder with Fraps installed:

The second way is through the context menu. To do this, right-click on the icon on the taskbar and select the appropriate folder in the menu:

Conclusion

With the help of our guide you can start working with Fraps. Creating gameplay videos, screenshots with interesting moments and tracking FPS with this program will be as simple and convenient as possible.

In general, it is now clear how to use fraps, and each person who reads the article is able to record his video.

Hello again! Today I will touch on a topic that is very important for any player and reviewer, namely how to use fraps. We will start the article with the installation of the program, and end with an examination of its main functions. I hope that after reading this article you will not have any additional questions, but if you still remain, then ask them in the comments. I will try to answer them.

Before I show you how to use fraps, you will need to download it. There are plenty of places where this can be done, and you can find them by driving a request into the search engine. Well, I, as a maximum, can provide you with a link to the official website where you can download a 30-day trial version or buy a program if you suddenly want to: download fraps.

How to use fraps. Program installation

After downloading the installer, run it with a double click. You will see a window with a license agreement, where you can read the terms of use of the program:

We agree to the terms by clicking the " I Agree"and go to the next window:

Here you need to select the folder where the program will be installed. By default, fraps is set to " C: / Fraps"but it’s best to change the installation path, say, to" C: / Program Files", that is, to the folder where all the computer programs are located.

Here you can change the name of the program, which will be displayed in the main menu of Windows. Leave it as it is and click " Install"to proceed with the installation.

After installing the program, click " Close"to exit the installer:

That's all, the installation of Fraps is over and now you can go to the main topic of the article, that is, how to use Fraps, and consider its main functions and settings.

General menu

The first menu you will see after starting fraps will be the " General", where the basic information about the program and several useful functions are located, which we now consider:

1. Here is information about who the program is registered on and the e-mail of this user. If you downloaded the trial version of the program, then in this window there will be an inscription " unregistered", which you can remove by purchasing the full version of the program.
2. Information about the version of the program.
3. Information about the "build" of the program.
4. There are five points. Let's look at them (top-down):
   • Start fraps minimized. By activating this function, at startup, the program will automatically minimize to tray.
   • Fraps window always on top. By checking this box, the program will always be above all windows.
   • Run Fraps when Windows starts. As the name implies, selecting this item, Fraps will start along with the launch of Windows.
   • Monitor aero desktop. A useful feature that allows you to shoot video from the desktop. On this subject I wrote an article: "".
   • Minimize to system tray only. And the last item, selecting which, the program, when minimized, will be minimized not to the taskbar, but to the system tray.

So, we’ve looked at the first, main tab of the program, and now let's move on to the next one, that is, in " Fps".

FPS Menu

Second menu, " Fps", is responsible for displaying the frame counter and the so-called" Benchmarks". It contains the following functions:

1. Here you can specify the folder where the benchmarks will be saved.
2. Select a quick button to start testing.
3. Benchmark settings, which include:
   • Fps. Allows you to record detailed information on the number of frames per second in separate files.
   • Frametimes. Records detailed information about the exact time of each frame in separate files.
   • Minmaxavg. Writes in separate files detailed information about the minimum, maximum, and average number of frames per second.
4. By checking this box, the record of benchmarks will automatically pause after a certain time, which you can specify in the corresponding text line.
5. The button for changing the position of the frame counter on the screen is indicated here.
6. The position of the counter on the screen is indicated here. If you select " Hide overlay"then the frame counter will be hidden.
7. And the seventh point, activating which, the frame counter will not be updated continuously, but after a second.

A few words about what benchmarks are. Benchmarks   - These are special files that record information about the number of FPS, the time of each frame, and so on. With their help, you can test the performance of your computer by knowing, for example, what maximum or minimum number of frames it can produce when recording.

Here is an example file with general information on benchmarks:

Here it is indicated (from left to right): test date, total number of frames, time, as well as average, minimum and maximum number of FPS when recording. As you can see, with the help of benchmarks you can easily check how productive your computer is when recording.

Let's move on to the next menu, titled " Movies".

Movies Menu

On the menu " Movies"are the basic settings for video and sound. Let's look at all of its items:

1. Select a folder for recording video. Always specify the folder on the hard drive that has enough free space.
2. Here you can change the quick button for recording video.
3. Here are the basic video settings. Let's start with the first column:
   • 60 fps. By selecting this item, the video will be recorded at 60 frames per second.
   • 50 fps. By selecting this item, the video will be recorded at 50 frames per second.
   • 30 fps. By selecting this item, the video will be recorded at 30 frames per second.

Go to the second column:

• Full size. By activating this item, the videos will be recorded in full size.
• Half size. By activating this item, the videos will be recorded in half the size.

And the last two bottom points:

• Loop buffer length 30 seconds. This item allows you to record video not by pressing the record key, but a little earlier, depending on the specified time. That is, let's say you suddenly wanted to record some epic moment in the game, but did not have time in time, literally for a few seconds, to press the record key. In this case, if you have activated this item, then the epic moment will be safely recorded on the video, and you can breathe calmly. I hope you understand what I mean.
• Split movie every 4 gigabytes. Split video every 4 gigabytes into separate files.

1. Here are the sound settings of the fraps. Consider them (from left to right):
   • Record Win7 sound. Allow sound recording from computer.
   • Stereo. Activate two-channel sound recording mode (left and right).
   • Multichannel. Activate multi-channel audio recording mode (depending on all connected audio devices of the computer).

2. And the last three points:
   • Hide mouse cursor in video. Hide cursor when recording video.
   • Lock framerate while recording. It limits FPS in games and applications, due to which it will not be able to rise higher than specified in the video settings.
   • Force lossless RGB capture (may be slower). Video will be recorded in full color, in RGB mode, thereby improving its quality. If you have a weak computer, then I do not recommend you include this item.

Let me remind you that we examined the third menu, called " Movies"where are the basic settings for video and sound. Now we’ll go to the last menu, namely -" Screenshots".

Screenshots Menu

In this last menu " Screenshots", You can change the settings that apply to taking screenshots from games, programs and the desktop:

1. Change the folder where screenshots will be stored.
2. Here you can change the quick button for taking screenshots.
3. Here you can choose one of four formats for screenshots: BMP, JPG, PNG and TGA.
4. And the last item with screenshot settings:
   • Include frame rate overlay on screenshots. Display in the screenshots the frame counter per second.
   • Repeat screen capture every 10 seconds (until hotkey pressed again). Start a cycle in which, every as many (as you specify) seconds, a screenshot will be taken. The cycle will continue until the screenshot shortcut key is pressed again.

That seems to be all. We have examined all the basic functions that fraps has, and now you know how to use fraps. Now, to start recording video, simply press the hot key that was specified in the program settings.
