Automate promo video recording for a Phaser game by using Playwright to capture gameplay and FFmpeg to process the footage. This produces smooth, high-FPS marketing-ready MP4 clips without manual screen capture overhead.

Playwright captures high-FPS game footage by slowing the Phaser game time to half speed during recording, then speeding up the footage with FFmpeg. This slow-motion technique ensures crisp motion and prevents frame drops in the final video.

Yes, you need both FFmpeg and Playwright installed locally to record Phaser game videos. The workflow uses Playwright for browser-based capture and FFmpeg for converting the raw WebM output into a final MP4.

Yes, you can configure the viewport and aspect ratio for mobile game video capture. The workflow defaults to a mobile portrait viewport and allows custom durations to match social media or app store requirements.

Phaser games may terminate prematurely during automated video capture due to lifecycle events. This workflow patches the game to prevent premature termination, ensuring Playwright records the full configured duration without interruption.

The best way to generate app store demo videos for Phaser games is using an autonomous Playwright and FFmpeg capture workflow. It outputs marketing-ready MP4 clips with configurable aspect ratios tailored for app stores and product demos.
