The default file name is $Y-$M-$D_$H$N$S.

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 change the name of the output file:
- Select Settings from the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
- Enter the file name in front of the File Name field. Optionally you can use suggested patterns.
