OBS allows you to record video directly from Oni's OpenGL output, so you don't have to try to select the exact region of the game window. OBS is a bit tricky to set up, but the settings you choose for the "Scene" will be saved automatically for the next time you open OBS. An additional wrinkle is that OBS requires a kernel extension called BlackHole (see "Mac audio-only recording" section) in order to capture audio. Once BlackHole is set up, you will need to enter OBS' Settings screen, choose "Audio", then set the "Desktop Audio Device" to BlackHole in order to capture the system sound. | OBS allows you to record video directly from Oni's OpenGL output, so you don't have to try to select the exact region of the game window.

The resulting recording is in FLV format by default, which is inconvenient for editing purposes because Apple's video-editing software, such as iMovie, requires a .mp4 or .mov file as input.

If you don't plan to make any edits besides trimming out parts of the video, you can simply feed the FLV directly into YouTube and use their editor to perform the trimming. You can also convert the video file to a Mac-friendly format with video conversion software such as ffmpeg, but you'll probably prefer to go to OBS' Settings screen, choose "Output", and change the "Recording Format" to "mp4" or "mov". | ||
To capture Oni's video output directly, open Oni in windowed mode, then open OBS and remove any default entry in the Sources list. Click the '+' button and choose a Syphon source. In the Syphon source's properties, check the Inject box and click the Launch SyphonInject button. Choose Oni from the list of open applications and click Inject. Close the Syphon properties window and you should see Oni's game window at the top-left of the screen preview in the OBS window. Now click the Settings button, go to the Video section, and in the Base Resolution field type in the size of the Oni window. If you don't trim the video dimensions to Oni's resolution in this way, the final video will show Oni's gameplay footage as part of a larger blank region. | To capture Oni's video output directly, open Oni in windowed mode, then open OBS and remove any default entry in the Sources list.
