General Settings
Output Folder
Recorded videos are saved in Screenbits folder under the Documents folder by default.
To change the output folder:
- Select Settings from the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
- Click the Browse... button from the General tab under the Output section.
- Select the folder you want to save videos into.
- Click OK to close Settings view.
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.
Output File
You can enter file name for the output file that is created by Screenbits. The 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 |
The 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 the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
- Enter the desired name in front of the File Name field. Optionally you can use one or more placeholders in the file name.
- Click OK to close Settings view.
Task Bar
To make Screenbits hidden from the Task Bar:
- Select Settings from the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
- Check the Hide From Taskbar check box.
- Click OK to close Settings view.
To make Screenbits minimize automatically when recording starts:
- Select Settings from the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
- Check the Minimize when recording starts check box.
- Click OK to close Settings view.
Note: When Screenbits is minimized, you can still interact with it through the Notification Area icon.
