Steam Clip Exporter

Motivation

Steam has a feature called 'Game Recording'. It's a neat feature. You can record clips of your gameplay (automatically or manually with a shortcut) and export them to a file.

But there are some issues:

1. You can't export a clip to H265 encoding (on both Windows and Linux) (#11849)
2. It takes a long time to re-encode a clip when you export it to H264 encoding even if it is encoded in H264 in the first place.

This tool is a workaround for these issues.

How to build
