What You'll Learn
Using OBS Studio
OBS Studio is a free and easy way to record Paint Tool Sai with the Game Bar. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
First, open OBS Studio and click on the Window capture tab. Then, select the art program you want to record, in this case, Paint Tool Sai. Make sure the program is already opened before selecting it. Once you've selected the program, press OK.
You can also name the window capture if you want, and a window will pop up allowing you to choose which window you would like to display. This way, you can focus the recording on only one program.
If you are using multiple canvases in Paint Tool Sai, you might encounter some issues with window capture as OBS recognizes each canvas as a separate window. In this case, you can try using the Window Match Priority option in the Properties of Window Capture Source of OBS. Alternatively, you can add more Window Capture sources to OBS scenes and switch between them automatically by going to Tools > Automatic Scene Switcher in the main menu.
Additionally, you can list Paint Tool Sai as a 'game' and use the Xbox Game Capture feature in OBS. However, keep in mind that this method has a time limit of 2 hours.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully record Paint Tool Sai using OBS Studio with the Game Bar.

Capturing the whole screen
Capturing your entire screen during a Paint Tool SAI session can be done through screen recording software such as OBS Studio, Bandicam, or Fraps.
OBS Studio
OBS Studio is a popular software for recording speedpaints. You can list Paint Tool SAI as a 'game' and use the Xbox Game Capture feature to record your screen. However, it's important to note that this method may be limited to two hours of recording time.
Bandicam
Bandicam is another screen recording software that allows you to capture your entire screen or specific regions. It offers a "Screen recording mode" that can be set to "Fullscreen." Once you've made your selection, simply click the "REC" button or use the hotkey (F12) to start recording. Bandicam also enables you to record computer audio and/or microphone voice, and you can add mouse effects, a logo, and text overlays to your recordings.
Fraps
Fraps is a screen recording software that can be used, but you may need to adjust the settings to capture the whole screen. Painting programs often use a video buffer, so attempting to record the program itself might result in black boxes.

Adding facecam or effects
To add a facecam or effects while recording Paint Tool SAI with the Game Bar, you will need to use third-party software, as the Windows Game Bar does not support this feature. Here are the steps you can follow:
Firstly, decide on the third-party software you want to use. Some options include OBS Studio, RecMaster, Gemoo Recorder, or FocuSee. Each software has its own unique features, so choose one that suits your needs. OBS Studio, for example, is a popular choice that offers a wide range of features, including the ability to add a webcam overlay.
After installing your chosen software, open it and set up your preferred settings, such as video format, quality, frame rate, and audio sources. Make sure your webcam is connected and selected as the input source.
Now, launch Paint Tool SAI and start your recording in the Game Bar by pressing Windows + G, then clicking the red record button.
Once you start painting in Paint Tool SAI, your facecam and any additional effects will be recorded simultaneously through the third-party software. You can adjust the webcam's position and size to your liking, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your artwork.
Finally, when you're done recording, stop the recording in both the Game Bar and your chosen third-party software. You can then edit the recordings together, using software like Kdenlive to merge the footage and add any further effects or enhancements.
Remember to experiment with different settings and software to find the setup that works best for you. With a bit of practice, you'll be able to create professional-looking recordings with a facecam and effects, all while using Paint Tool SAI.

Recording with a Wacom tablet
To record Paint Tool SAI with the Game Bar and a Wacom tablet, you will need to ensure that your tablet is compatible with the software. While most drawing programs support pen tablets, some users have reported issues with certain Wacom models. For example, one user reported that their HUION q11 v2 did not work with PTS, while another user had success with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16. It is recommended to use an older Wacom driver, as updating to newer versions may cause issues with pen pressure.
Once you have confirmed compatibility, you can begin the recording process. Open the Game Bar by pressing Windows Key + G, and then select the "Capture" button to start recording. You can also use the Xbox Game Bar app to manage your recordings and adjust settings.
If you are using a Wacom tablet with Paint Tool SAI for the first time, you may need to calibrate your tablet to ensure accurate recordings. To do this, open the Wacom Tablet Properties menu and adjust the settings to match your preferences. You may also need to adjust the recording settings in Paint Tool SAI to ensure that your recordings are captured correctly.
Additionally, it is worth noting that Paint Tool SAI does not currently support touch mode, which can be a limitation for users with Wacom tablets that have touch features. Some users have switched to alternative software, such as Clip Studio Paint, which offers similar functionality and supports touch screen gestures for zoom and rotation.
Overall, recording Paint Tool SAI with the Game Bar on a Wacom tablet is achievable, but you may need to experiment with different drivers and settings to find a compatible configuration.
