Camtasia Studio is professional screen recording and video editing software, it can capture any screen movements and actions, including image, audio, cursor, etc and can directly edit the recorded file, including adding various labels, media library, pan-and-zoom, PIP, voiceover, subtitle effects, etc. Camtasia Studio can also support to edit the videos people import from popular devices like iPhone 7/SE, Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, Phantom 4/3, Go pro camera, Sony Camera and many others. 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.
