== Folder and File ==
=== Output Folder ===
By default, recorded videos are saved in ''Screenbits'' folder in the ''Videos'' folder. You can change the output folder to any location on your storage.
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:
{|class="wikitable"
! style="text-align:left;"| 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.
== Video ==
Screenbits encodes the output video using H.264 codec and provides multiple options to configure the output, including resolution, frame-rate and quality.
