Written by Since Camtasia Studio is a full-fledged video production application that is used and strongly recommended by most professionals. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated in the Camtasia Studio component of the product.
However, When we want to edit our MP4 videos through Camtasia, it fails. Why? Because Camtasia supports AVI, .WMV, MPEG-1, .MP3, .WAV, .WMA, and .MOV (QuickTime) files.

B: How to Convert MP4 to Camtasia Studio format Via Mac OS Sierra?
“I’m trying to open the mp4 files saved locally by OBS with Camtasia Studio 8 to do some post-processing and it is failing because it claims it’s unsupported media or missing codecs. However if I open the same .mp4 file with VLC 64 and use the convert/save option to basically re-save it (saving using original video file), camtasia will open it the resuling file just fine. I’ve tried changing the settings which OBS uses for recording of video and audio, but none of them work. Any suggestions?”
