Camtasia project
Choose files… or drop them here
.tscproj, .camproj, .zip · up to 200 MB each, 20 files max
    Add more files

    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.

    Open a Camtasia project in Premiere Pro

    Premiere Pro cannot open .tscproj files, and Camtasia only exports finished videos. This converter reads the project and writes a Premiere Pro XML with the whole edit, so you can go on editing in Premiere instead of starting again from a flattened MP4.

    Step by step

    1. Upload the .tscproj file (or a zipped .cmproj from a Mac, or a Camtasia Studio 8 .camproj).
    2. Turn the .trec recordings into MP4 with the Camtasia recording converter and put the MP4 files next to the recordings. Premiere cannot decode .trec files.
    3. In Premiere Pro choose File > Import and pick the -Premiere.xml file. The sequence appears in a bin with every track, clip and group.
    4. If Premiere asks for media, point it at the first missing file; it finds the rest in the same folder.

    What you find in Premiere

    • One video track per Camtasia track, in the same order, and audio tracks for the sound.
    • Recordings with picture and sound linked, cut where you cut them in Camtasia.
    • Groups as nested sequences: double-click one to open it, as you would expand a group in Camtasia.
    • Speed changes as Time Remapping speed, zooms and pans as Motion keyframes (Scale, Position, Rotation), crops as the Crop effect, opacity and volume with their keyframes.
    • Text callouts as text generators, transitions as Cross Dissolve or Dip to Black.

    Camtasia's cursor effects, click effects, shadows and behaviours have no Premiere equivalent and are listed in the report.
