After trying out multiple recording and streaming tools, Action! has been one of the most reliable options for me. It balances high-quality recording, smooth performance, and an easy-to-use interface without putting unnecessary strain on my system. Hereā€™s what stood out to me: 1ļøāƒ£ Excellent Video Quality Without Killing Performance Iā€™ve used Action! to record gameplay in real-time HD, and the quality is impressive. It supports 4K Ultra HD resolution and up to 120 FPS, all while keeping the CPU usage surprisingly low. Unlike some other recording software Iā€™ve tried, it doesnā€™t cause major frame drops or stuttering. 2ļøāƒ£ Hardware Acceleration That Actually Works One thing I noticed immediately is how well Action! utilizes NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF, and Intel Quick Sync Video. This hardware acceleration keeps performance smooth, allowing me to record high-definition gameplay while still maintaining high FPS. Itā€™s a noticeable difference compared to software-based recording solutions. 3ļøāƒ£ Live Streaming Without the Hassle Setting up a live stream on YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook was much easier than I expected. The low-latency encoding, real-time audio commentary, and customizable overlays made it feel like a plug-and-play experience. No unnecessary configurationsā€”just smooth and simple streaming. 4ļøāƒ£ A Clean, Intuitive Interface Iā€™ve used software before that felt overly complicated, but Action! strikes a good balance. The interface is modern, clean, and easy to navigate, even for someone who doesnā€™t want to mess around with too many settings. At the same time, there are plenty of advanced options if you want more control. 5ļøāƒ£ Flexible Recording Features for Different Needs Gameplay & Desktop Recording: Iā€™ve used Action! to record not just games, but also tutorials and presentations. The ability to capture game audio, microphone, and system sound separately makes editing much easier. Slow-Motion Effects: Itā€™s a fun feature to have, and Iā€™ve used it to create some cinematic replays of key moments in games. 6ļøāƒ£ Lightweight Yet Powerful One of the biggest positives for me is how efficiently Action! runs in the background. Iā€™ve had experiences with other software that caused input lag or slowed down my system, but Action! feels well-optimized. It doesnā€™t hog system resources, which means I can game and record without worrying about performance drops. šŸ”¹ Pros: āœ… High-quality 4K/120 FPS recording āœ… Minimal performance impact with hardware acceleration āœ… Easy-to-use interface with powerful customization options āœ… Seamless live streaming support āœ… Time-Shift recording to capture past moments šŸ”ø Cons: āŒ Paid software (but offers exceptional value for the price) āŒ Limited built-in video editing tools (but pairs well with external editors) I highly recommend Action! to anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance recording and streaming solution.

Great software for all kinds of recordings, and it keeps getting better and better! ItĀ“s over 10 years old but devĀ“s still working on it. I would not recommend it for streaming tho, itĀ“s too basic for that, but itĀ“s perfect for recording in the background. The regular price is too high tho, get it on sale.
