Camtasia project to DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve imports timelines from XML but not from Camtasia. Convert the Camtasia project here and import the result into Resolve with File > Import > Timeline.
Which file to use
- The
.fcpxmlfile (Final Cut Pro XML 1.10) keeps Camtasia's tracks as separate tracks, groups as compound clips, text callouts as titles and markers as timeline markers. It is the first choice for Resolve. For subtitles, import the-captions.srtfile onto a subtitle track. - The
-Premiere.xmlfile (Final Cut Pro 7 XML) works in Resolve too, with nested timelines for groups. - The
.otiofile opens in Resolve 18.5 and later, and in other tools that read OpenTimelineIO.
When Resolve asks, leave "Automatically import source clips into media pool" ticked and point it
at the folder with the recordings. Resolve cannot decode Camtasia's .trec recordings either:
convert them with the Camtasia recording converter first; the converted timeline
already points to the MP4 files.
What to expect
Cuts, clip order, speed changes, positions and zooms, volume and fades come across. Camtasia's own effects (cursor effects, shadows, behaviours) and shape callouts do not, and are listed in the report that comes with the files.
Privacy
Results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes, or straight away with "Delete now".
