How to make highlights from a FACEIT match
The easiest way is to paste the match link into FragReact: in a couple of minutes the highlights are ready in your browser, in our 3D player. No need to install CS2 or record your screen.
How to make highlights on FragReact
- Paste a link or a nickname. On the home page, paste the address of a FACEIT match room, or type a nickname and pick a match.
- Wait for the analysis. The service finds the kills and deaths of all ten players. It usually takes 1–2 minutes.
- Watch and save. The moments open in your browser with the players' voices. Put the best ones into a project and download an MP4 in 9:16 or 16:9.
How it's done by hand
Without a service, you have to download the demo from FACEIT, unpack it, open it in CS2 with the playdemo command, find the rounds you want by hand, record your screen with OBS and cut the clip in a video editor. That takes far longer for a single match, and for a vertical video you have to reframe the shot separately.
