Suggested export file name without extension

[Highwayman]

Windows 10
22.03.30

When I make changes to the export parameters, only a file name without an extension is suggested.
Format is mp4, and I expect a filename “project.mp4” instead of just “project”.

check this thread, inside you will get the answer

Export a part of the timeline - NEW METHOD

I noticed when you were exporting the file, it seem to me that .mp4 appeared automatically next to export file name. I am using windows and I need to add .mp4 at export every single time. Thank you.

I noticed that this is the case with all but custom profiles. When I export it says save as determined by export, but I don’t know where I should specifically define that - I have defined format .mp4 in export settings.

That’s my point. For user-defined I have to enter the file extension. Why isn’t the format from the export window applied?

Are you talking about having a custom preset?

Or entering in Advance and selecting a different Codec?

You have these 2 lines in your preset settings and it still doesn’t show you the .mp4 extension? (the one that appears when you click on + after changing a default preset, you can also find the preset file on your disk and edit it with notepad to add them)

f=mp4
meta.preset.extension=mp4

It works. Thank you very much.

This change was made for the next version per original request: suggest an extension when format changes or not saved with custom preset.
