Morae Learning Center

Default output folder
Defines where to store recording files. This is a global setting for Recorder, all recording files are saved in this folder.

By default, the folder is C:\\...My Documents\Morae folder on the Recorder source computer system.

Temporary output folder
Defines the folder that temporarily holds Recorder output during recording. The temporary files are automatically deleted when the output file is written.

We recommend using a local drive for temporary file storage. Choosing a temporary directory located on a network drive may cause performance problems.
