The length of recording can vary depending on what is going on in the gameplay. Once activated, a HUD element positioned above the radar will indicate the elapsed recording. Gameplay in first-person perspective cannot have camera edits made in the editor, and certain Story Mode missions and Random Events will not allow recording at all. The player can use the various available recording tools to create their own videos, which can be uploaded to YouTube and the Rockstar Games Social Club.
There are various editing tools at the player's disposal, including camera filters, custom camera placement, and music to complement the recording.
