GTA 5: How to stop recording clips

GTA 5, apart from its usual chaotic and liberating open world, comes packed with a ton of other features that are extremely fun to experiment with. One such feature introduced in GTA 5 was the ability to record clips and edit them within the game itself.

This is different from Director Mode and can be accessed by simply using the Character Switch Menu. In GTA 5, after recording the clip, players can edit it to their liking in Rockstar Editor from the Pause Menu.

As opposed to recording gameplay and storing it on the hard drive, recording a clip using Rockstar Editor does not automatically create a video file on the drive. The process is extremely easy and players only need to access the Character Switch menu to stop/start recording a clip.
