.trec, .camrec, .zip · up to 200 MB each, 20 files max
    Add more files

    The .trec files Camtasia 9 to 2026 records (Windows and Mac), .camrec files from Camtasia Studio, a zipped .cmrec bundle from Camtasia for Mac, or a .zip of several. Up to 20 recordings.

    Options
    Frame timing

    Camtasia stores a screen frame only when the screen changes. For editing, every frame is written at the recording's frame rate (Premiere, Final Cut and Resolve prefer this). For watching, the frames are kept as recorded: smaller files, converted faster.

    Mouse pointer

    Camtasia keeps the mouse pointer apart from the screen picture, so other players never show it. Draw it in where it was, with its changes of shape, or leave it out to add pointer effects in your editor (the pointer path comes as a CSV either way).

    Wide or high-resolution screens make large files. Scaling down keeps the picture sharp enough for most viewers.

    Besides the MP4 with all sound mixed in, write the microphone, system sound and other tracks as separate M4A files.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Convert Camtasia Studio .camrec recordings to MP4

    Camtasia Studio (up to version 8) saved recordings as .camrec files: a container holding the screen as an AVI in TechSmith's TSCC codec, the camera and sound as further streams, and a small manifest with bookmarks. Without Camtasia Studio installed none of it plays, and Camtasia 2020 and later no longer open .camrec files at all. Upload the .camrec files (or a .zip of the folder) and get MP4 videos back.

    What you get

    • The screen as an H.264 MP4 at its original size and frame rate.
    • The camera as a separate MP4 when one was recorded, and the sound in the MP4 (or on its own).
    • The bookmarks set while recording, as a CSV list of times and names, when there are any.

    Old recordings often have sizes like 1024 x 768 at 15 frames per second; the MP4 keeps them, at a constant frame rate for editing (the default) or as recorded.
