Every time I start screen recording on QuickTime, the "save to" location automatically goes back to QuickTime Player despite me having set it to my external drive (ExtremeSSD) and having "Remember Last Selection" checked off. I have to manually change it every time. Can anyone help me permanently change the "save to" location as my external drive? Thanks so much.

having "remember last selection" chosen should be the solution to your issue. since it's not working, I would recommend you try and Start up your Mac in safe mode. then run the Mac in safe mode for about 5 minutes. and then restart normally and test. sometimes a safe boot followed by a normal boot will clear up issues.
but if I may add my two cents, I have, in the past, encountered issues with longer recordings stopping / not saving unexpectedly whenever I have selected anything other than "desktop" as my "save to" location. this has been especially true when "save to" is set to an external drive. so I now use "desktop" as my "save to" every time and afterwards I move them to my desired location manually. I haven't had an issue since.
