For example, using the default pattern, an output file name for a recording progress that started at 14/05/2017 at 00:48:49 will be '''2017-05-14_004849.mp4'''.

The default pattern for the file name is ''$Y-$M-$D_$H$N$S'' so using the default pattern, output file name for a recording process that started at 14/05/2017 00:48:49 is '''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''')

Output File

You can enter a pattern for the name of each output file that is created by Screenbits. The following placeholders are available to use in the pattern:

Symbol Meaning Example
$Y Year 2017
$M Month 05
$D Day 10
$H Hour 03
$N Minute 55
$S Second 20

The default pattern for the file name is $Y-$M-$D_$H$N$S so using the default pattern, output file name for a recording process that started at 14/05/2017 00:48:49 is 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)
