Part 1. Watch Your Past Matches on Fortnite
Fortnite has a replay system that allows you to watch your past matches. Therefore, you can use it to review your incredible performances or figure out how you died so quickly during last battle. It also helps you to create your own epic highlight videos. If you want to know how to use the Fortnite replay mode, please follow below steps.
Step 1 Login the game and open the main menu. Then click the Career tab and you’ll find Replays on the right.
Step 2 Just select Replays, and you’ll see the video list of all your previous matches. They are recorded and stored automatically by Fortnite.
Step 3 Choose the match you want to watch and double click it to play.
Step 4 While reviewing your game, you have a lot of tools to help you. As you can see, they are at the bottom of the video. The eye button on the left can hide the HUD if you want to have a full view of video. And the camera button helps you to adjust the camera's parameters and add different gameplay elements like name plates and player outlines. You can adjust the aperture to change the feel of your scene, adjust the balance of lightness and darkness, zoom in the picture and automatically adjust the focus of your scene.
Step 5 You can find several buttons right in the middle. The arrow buttons are used to jump to the time of your death. And the curved arrows help you jump backward or forward 15 seconds. The number aside is to adjust the speed of video. By the way, the M represents for the map, you can open your it to find out where you are exactly during the game. If you need to change the camera angles, just open the options on the right-most side of the screen and choose the best mode for your video. To watch other players’ performances, please click the buttons next to the camera angles to shift players.
Part 2. How to Save a Replay on Fortnite
We have said that Fortnite records all the games you play automatically, so that you can review the matches without missing a moment. However, these recordings are temporary files on Fortnite, which means you may lose your replays if you don’t save it manually.
Just click Rename And Save in the lower right corner of the replay list, then your replay will be saved after your confirmation.
But you should know that Fortnite doesn’t offer the option for users to export their replays out of the game. So I highly recommend you to use a game recorder to record your game, especially the best games you ever played. Otherwise if Fortnite’s replay system is changed by its developers, you will lose all your videos.
