    The .tscproj file (Camtasia 9 to 2026, Windows or Mac), a .cmproj project from a Mac or a project exported with File > Export > Project as Zip, uploaded as a .zip, or a Camtasia Studio .camproj (Studio 3 to 8). The recordings and media themselves are not needed.

    Options
    Groups

    Nested sequences keep each Camtasia group as one clip you can open, as in Camtasia. Laid out flat puts their contents straight onto the timeline, which the EDLs always do.

    Other editors cannot open .trec recordings. Point to MP4 copies with the same name (made with the Camtasia recording converter or exported from Camtasia), or keep the .trec paths.

    More options

    Where the recordings and media will be on the computer you edit on, for example D:\Videos\Course or /Users/me/Movies/Course. Leave empty to keep the paths Camtasia used.

    Keep subfolders when the folder holds the same subfolders as on the Camtasia computer; all in one folder when every media file was copied into the folder itself.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Camtasia project to Final Cut Pro

    Camtasia for Mac and Final Cut Pro sit on the same computer, but there is no way to send an edit from one to the other. Convert the Camtasia project (.cmproj, zipped) here and import the .fcpxml file into Final Cut Pro with File > Import > XML.

    How the edit is laid out in Final Cut Pro

    Final Cut Pro has no tracks, so each Camtasia track becomes a connected storyline above (or, for sound, below) an empty primary storyline as long as the project. Clips keep their place in time and their order, transitions sit between clips in their storyline, groups become compound clips and callouts with text become Basic Title titles. Captions become SRT captions and markers become markers. Speed changes are retimed clips, zooms and pans are keyframed transforms.

    Before importing

    • Compress the .cmproj folder in Finder (right-click > Compress) and upload the .zip.
    • Turn the .trec recordings into MP4 with the Camtasia recording converter; Final Cut Pro cannot read .trec files.
    • After importing, choose File > Relink Files if Final Cut Pro shows media as missing.
