Recorded videos are saved in Screenbits folder under the Videos folder by default.
To change the output folder:
- Select Settings from Menu to open Settings.
- Click Recorder from the side bar to open Recorder settings.
- Click Browse... button under Output section to open Browse for folder dialog.
- Select the folder you want to save videos into.
Note: Make sure your user account has write access to the selected folder and also the folder is in a storage device/drive with enough free space. Your security software might also prevent the application to access the output folder.
Output File
You can enter a template for the output file name that is created by Screenbits. File name may include one or more of the following placeholders:
| Symbol | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| $Y | Year | 2017 |
| $M | Month | 05 |
| $D | Day | 10 |
| $H | Hour | 03 |
| $N | Minute | 55 |
| $S | Second | 20 |
Default file name is $Y-$M-$D_$H$N$S. When a recording process starts, Screenbits will replace the placeholders in the file name with their actual values so using the default file name, output file name for a recording process that started at 14/05/2017 00:48:49 will be 2017-05-14_004849.mp4. If a file with the same name already exist, an underscore followed by a number will be added to the end of the name to make it unique. (e.g. 2017-05-14_004849_0001.mp4)
To use a different name for output files:
- Select Settings from Menu to open Settings.
- Click Recorder from the side bar to open Recorder settings.
- Enter the desired template under Enter a template for file name. Optionally you can use one or more placeholders in the file name.
