This is just a few tricks you can configure in the config.ini file to make recording movies in the editor to avoid blue flickering that can happen in some recording software.
All values can be found and tweaked in the config.ini file for SFD found in your documents folder.
First you can try to cap the FPS to 30 (which will effectively be 60 in the editor). This can make some recording software register the frames properly in the map editor.
TARGETFPS = 30
Also enable vertical sync.
VSYNC = 1
In some cases it can help to disable the editors double buffering (this may not have any effect).
EDITOR_DOUBLE_BUFFER = 0
Save the config.ini file after your edits and start SFD and the map editor. After the small list icons have been loaded you should be able to record videos in the map editor without any blue flickering.
Note that the TARGETFPS limits the FPS in-game as well so it's nothing you want active when not working in the map editor.
If these changes/tweaks help anyone resolve their blue flickering recording issues please share your experience and we will consider having a separate TARGETFPS property for the editor only - so you can have unlimited FPS testing/playing the game but only cap it in the editor.
