[Stable release recording bug] Clip "Save / share" button doesn't work

[Speedy Von Gofast]

After selecting a clipping region, the yellow button "Save / Share" doesn't do anything at all. No window, no menu, nothing.

This happen for both in-game overlay and the desktop window.

i can save but chosing folder dont work. want my recordings on other drive but it still put them in default video folder.

This happens to me as well. I noticed that, when this happens, I also can't place markers (though it will make the sound as if I am). After I closed & reopened Steam a couple times, all of the markers showed up & the button worked again. I then made a clip, realized it was too large (because Steam lies about the exported file size, another issue), & tried to make a new clip -- only to be met with the button doing nothing once again 😡

Edit: The issue may be due to using the 'skip ahead 10s' button while making the clip, but that's just a hunch right now.

I am once again having this issue & it appears to have nothing to do with the 'skip ahead 10s' button.

It is only happening to one specific session's recording, but I've already used the "save / share" button successfully on the session, but had to redo the clip because (again) steam lied about the export size.

This ♥♥♥♥ is so buggy & frustrating to use. It's supposed to be a stable release, but it performs like garbage.

Edit: This time I was able to fix it by going to another session in the same game, exporting a random clip, then going back to the session I actually wanted to clip. Once I did that, I could use the "save / share" button again.

Have you found any other progress with this issue? I tried your solution but it doesn't seem to fully fix it. It did allow to to clip the background recording on the game again once I used the steam overlay while the game was open, it then stopped once I closed the game. Didn't fix any other clips however. What's weird is the one clip I made when opening the game up again is working fully fine without issue at the moment. This bug just seems so inconsistent.

Unfortunately no, but I haven't had it happen recently 🤷‍♂️ it's gotta be the #1 pain point with this feature.

steam player could not play a video i made with steam recorder earlier. kept saying this file cannot be played. so took a bet and exported it anyways. in my own player i think win12 no issues playing it at all. checked after YT upload and no errors to find in the video at all which is recorded in 4K. strange issue. EDIT: in some games im not allowed to record at all. one example is the skyrim overhaul named enderal special edition. i have a recording from that game more than 1 hour long and was supposed to do a walkthrough but it seems last update completely made the recorder vanish from that specific game. i also get some weird errors in some other games. its like steam recorder wants to work but then decides to not work anyways. weird to deal with
