A kill montage is simple on paper: your best kills, in a good order, set to music. In practice most montages stall before they are finished, usually while someone is searching hours of footage for clips. This guide goes through the whole process in the order that avoids that.

What you need

  • Recordings of your matches, from your phone’s screen recorder or an emulator on PC.
  • A Windows PC to edit on.
  • An editor for the final cut, such as Clipchamp or DaVinci Resolve.
  • A song you have the right to use.
  • GamingCap, optionally, to find your kills in the recordings for you.

Step 1: Record whole matches

Don’t try to predict which fights will be good. Start recording when you load in and stop when the match ends. The best kills often come from fights you didn’t plan, and you can’t clip a moment you didn’t record.

Record at the highest resolution your device handles smoothly, with game audio on, and keep the HUD visible so the kill feed stays readable. Recording on your phone and editing on your PC covers the settings and how to move files across without losing quality.

Step 2: Find every kill

Next, go through your recordings and collect the moments worth keeping. There are two ways:

  • By hand: jump through each recording and watch the eliminations counter at the top of the screen. When it goes up, a kill has just happened. It’s free, but slow on long sessions.
  • With GamingCap: choose the recording, type your exact in-game name and let it find the knocks and eliminations with your name on them. Each one comes back as a 10-second clip you can preview.

Both are explained in detail in how to clip your kills from a long recording. That guide uses BGMI, but PUBG Mobile works the same way.

Step 3: Choose your clips

Put every candidate in one folder, then be ruthless. A montage is judged by its weakest clip, so a tight one with 12 great kills beats a long one with 30 average ones.

Keep the clips that are:

  • Easy to follow: you can see what happened without pausing.
  • Different from each other: a spray, a snipe, a clutch and a grenade play, not four identical sprays.
  • Clean: no lag spikes, no menus and no moments where the recording glitched.

Step 4: Put them in order

The order matters more than most people expect.

  1. Open with your second-best clip. It has to be strong enough to hold people past the first few seconds.
  2. Build through the middle with variety, so the pace doesn’t feel flat.
  3. Put your best clip in the last third, where it lands as the payoff.
  4. End on something clean, such as a final knock followed by a beat of silence, rather than cutting off mid-fight.

Why montages lose viewers early goes deeper into the opening seconds.

Step 5: Add music and cut to it

Choose the song before you start cutting, then line up your biggest moments with its strongest beats. You don’t need a cut on every beat; landing the important kills on the hits is enough to make the montage feel in time.

Before you choose a popular track, read montage music without a copyright strike. A claimed song can mute your video or send its earnings to someone else.

Step 6: Export

  • Resolution: 1080p, or your recording’s resolution if it is lower. Don’t upscale.
  • Frame rate: the same as your recordings.
  • Format: MP4 (H.264) at a high bitrate, so the platform’s own compression has good material to work with.

If you also want vertical versions of your best kills, see turning kills into Reels and Shorts.

Montage checklist

  • Whole matches recorded, with the HUD and game audio
  • Every kill found and saved as a clip
  • Weak and repeated clips cut
  • Second-best clip first, best clip in the last third
  • Music chosen before cutting, and cleared to use
  • Exported at the recording’s resolution and frame rate

Questions people ask

How long should a PUBG Mobile kill montage be?

Most kill montages work best between one and three minutes. Shorter keeps people watching; only go longer if every clip earns its place.

How many clips do I need for a montage?

It depends on the pace of the music, but 10 to 20 strong clips is a good target for a two-minute montage. Cutting a weak clip is better than filling time.

Does GamingCap work with PUBG Mobile recordings?

Yes. PUBG Mobile's kill feed shows player names the same way BGMI's does, so GamingCap can find the knocks and eliminations with your name on them.

Do I need a powerful PC to make a montage?

No. Any reasonably recent Windows PC can cut and export a 1080p montage. A faster PC mainly shortens export times.
