Editing Shadowplay videos on After Effects

InVidia recently released the beta for their new capture technology, "ShadowPlay" which makes it a lot easier for youtubers to capture footage of PC games. However, After Effects fails to handle the audio well, throwing it way out of sync. This apparantly happens because Premiere doesn't support variable framerates especially well. 

Generally speaking, a professional tool like After Effects never expects anything but constant framerates. Unfortunately, one of the ways NVIDIA manages to keep ShadowPlay’s export file sizes low but retain great quality is to utilize variable framerates, but the result is a freshly-exported video with de-synced audio and video – in effect, a useless result. 

In this case, you need to transcode the ShadowPlay videos to After Effects more preferred MPEG-2 or WMV files and then transfer the converted MOV files to After Effects for editing. 

Here I recommend you the best easy-to-use iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. With this powerful Shadowplay to After Effects video converter,  you are able to to encode any ShadowPlay files to After Effects supported format at super fast speed effectively. (Read review)

Import all kinds of videos into Camtasia Studio

However, you may often encounter problems when importing videos to Camtasia Studio. 

Problems with import videos to Camtasia Studio for edit

1."Hello, I recorded some videos on my sony HD camera and wanted to cut together a highlight video using Camtasia 8.0. The camera saved the files as *.m2ts which Camtasia doesn't seem to be able to read. There is an option to convert the M2TS to WMV or MPEG-2. Now I can import the *.wmv media but it only saves in 640x480 instead of 1080i which is what I want. The MPEG-2 is the file that gets the codec Error. Is there anything I can do to get the M2TS video file worked with Camtasia or are they just both incompatible?"

2.I just updated from Camtasia 7 to Camtasia 8. I could import .mov files with Camtasia 7. Now Camtasia 8 will import .mov files but not read them and stop and start not to respond in front of a .mov file. Can you help? I regret this update. I am greatly frustrated.......

3.Hello techsmith staffs! i'm having a problem on importing video files. I just wonder why can't I import .avi files on camtasia. I can only import .mpg. can you please attend to my concern? I badly need your solution right now. Its for our project. Thank you!

Why such format issues happen to you?

Like many other video editing programs, Camtasia have restriction for video and audio formats, It means that those videos incompatible cannot be imported to Camtasia Studio directly.

Camtasia supports AVI, .WMV, MPEG-1, .MP3, .WAV, .WMA, and .MOV (QuickTime) files. It does not support AVCHD files (.m2ts, .mts, and .m2t), Video_TS, MPEG-2, MOD, Ogg, WebM, .RM (RealPlayer), .FLV (Flash Video), 3GPP, and SWF created outside Techsmith products.  

However, as the problems listed above, although some video formats like MOV, AVI claimed to be supported by Camtasia Studio, we may still encounter video won’t be edit by it issue. This is because MOV, AVI and other video formats are just containers, each format will have different codecs. 

In a word, due to the Camtasia Studio video restriction and format issues, M2TS, MOV, AVI and other formats cannot be imported to Camtasia Studio for editing.

How to Import all kinds of Videos into Camtasia Studio

For the video format that supported by Camtasia Studio, you can directly transfer them through USB or other wireless method from your computer or ohter portable devices. But for the unsupported formats, you can choose to render videos with Camtasia Studio, but generally speaking, it will take you a lot of time to wait for the render conplete, and not all the video formats can be renderred successfully. Then you have a third choice: convert unsupported formats with a third party software then imported to  Camtasia Studio.

Here we recommend iFastime Video Converter Ultimate which has strong ability to convert all kinds of videos to Camtasia Studios.
