Description
Saving project as Mp4 with default encoder fails due to intermediary 'no such file or directory' issues (missing correct path to temp).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Download the latest X64 portable build of ScreenToGif
Open Recorder
Record a screen capture
Close Recorder
Open Editor
Attempt to save as MP4
Select the ffmpeg.exe location if prompted to locate
Use default settings for MP4 and attempt to save
Encoding will fail

Expected behavior
ScreenToGif should produce a valid MP4 video.
