    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.

    Use Camtasia recordings in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve

    Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve all fail on .trec files: the media is offline, or the clip has sound but no picture. They lack TechSmith's screen codec. Convert the recordings to MP4 here, then import the MP4 files like any other video.

    For editing

    The default "For editing" timing writes every frame at the recording's frame rate (usually 30 frames per second). Camtasia only stores a frame when the screen changes; editors handle a constant frame rate better, so cuts land exactly where you expect.

    Moving a whole Camtasia edit

    If you also want the edit you made in Camtasia, convert the project with the Camtasia project converter. Keep the MP4 files' names: the converted project points to name.mp4 next to each name.trec, so it relinks by itself.

    Large recordings

    Wide or 4K screens make large files. Choose "At most 1080 lines" to scale the picture down for faster editing and smaller files; the text stays readable at that size for most screens.

    Privacy

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