Game Video Clipping tool for Linux? (slrpnk.net)

Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc.. is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?

Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)

while davinci resolve is probably pretty top shelf as editor, just be mindful of limitations, namely: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve#MP4,_H.264,_H.265_and_AAC_Support

DaVinci Resolve free does not support decoding or encoding H.264 and H.265 video, regardless of the container type.

Neither DaVinci Resolve free or Studio versions support decoding or encoding of AAC audio streams.

Unless you feel like buying the studio version, you can't really use h264/h265 video codecs. For me this is pretty much a dealbreaker as I don't have hardware which could encode eg. AV1 video reasonably - and I really don't want to transcode recordings to different formats for editing.
