    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.

    Export Camtasia captions as SRT or WebVTT

    Captions typed or generated in Camtasia live in the project, and only Camtasia itself can export them. Upload the project and get the captions as subtitle files for YouTube, Vimeo, a learning platform or a video player.

    What you get

    • SRT (-captions.srt): the subtitle format almost everything accepts.
    • WebVTT (-captions.vtt): for HTML5 video players and many learning platforms.
    • The same captions in the Final Cut Pro XML, ready for Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

    Each caption keeps its start and end time from the Camtasia timeline, including captions inside groups and on clips that were cut or moved. Captions from Camtasia 2020 to 2026 (Windows and Mac) and Camtasia Studio 8 are read.

    If no captions come out

    Some projects keep their subtitles as plain text callouts on the timeline instead of captions. Those come out in the callout text list (-callout-texts.txt) with their timecodes, and as titles in the editor files.

    Privacy

    Results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes, or straight away with "Delete now".
