Export replays as a video (mp4, webm, etc.)

First off, Slippi is a great project and I love it. The dedication to this project is really inspiring.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but it would be great to have a way to export replay files to a video. Projects like slp-to-video and slp-to-mp4 make it seem like it should be possible. I tried using those tools, but it's really tricky to get Dolphin/the ISO/etc set up correctly, whereas those things are already available in the Slippi Launcher, so it seems like a good place to do it.

For my own use case, I'm not looking for anything fancy (start/stop cutoffs, fast forward, custom resolution, etc.) – just a one-click to turn the replay into a video file with some default resolution would be amazing. Would be great for sharing with friends!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your hard work on this project!

Your best bet is using Clippi. It's a tiny bit tricky to set up with OBS and OBS websocket but once you're set up it's really easy to choose replays and record them.
