File preferences

The Files tab of Movavi Screen Capture Studio preferences allows you to manage the folders where you want Movavi Screen Capture Studio to store its files. Click the arrow button next to a folder to set a different location.

Directory for captured files: where your output videos will be saved. After you save a video, this folder will open automatically.

 

Directory for screenshots: if you take screenshots during capture, they will be saved to this folder.

 

Directory for temporary files:

When you record screen activity, Movavi Screen Capture Studio first writes your video as a temporary project file with the *.mscproj extension. This file is stored in your Directory for temporary files until you save it as a video or audio file. Besides, you can always open a project file and resave it in a different format.

 

By default, the files are stored even after you save the video, in case you want to reuse the temporary file and save it to a different format, however you can delete all temporary files by clicking the trash can icon next to the Directory for temporary files .

 

Delete temporary video files after conversion – with this option selected, the temporary files will be deleted immediately after you save the videos. This will help you save disc space, however you will not be able to save the recording in a different format afterwards.

 

Directory for screenshots: when you take screenshots during capture, they will be saved to this folder.

 

Default screenshot format: when you take a screenshot, it will be saved with the selected format.
