 | ✅ | `${EXT}` | `string` | The extension of the file (e.g.: `.mp4`, `.mkv`).
 | ✅ | `${EPOCH_MS}` | `number` | Number of milliseconds since epoch (e.g. `1680852771465`). Useful to generate a unique file name on every export to prevent accidental overwrite.
-| ✅ | `${EXPORT_COUNT}` | `number` | Number of exports done since last LosslessCut launch (starts at 0).
