So is there a method to solve MP4 not adding to Camtasia Studio problem? From the above introduction, you must have learned that the solution is to convert your MP4 file to MP4 H.264 file or to other Camtasia Studio supported file formats, such as MPEG-1. For example, many users said that they can not import their MP4 files to Camtasia Studio for editing and the reason is that your MP4 file is not encoded with H.264 video codec and it may be encoded with H.265, XviD, DivX, etc. So if your video format is not one of the above ones you will get playback error message or be troubled by no sound or no image problem. For now, Camtasia Studio gets the following video and audio formats supported: MP4 H.264 AVC, MTS, M2TS, MOV H.264, WMV, AVI, MPEG-1, MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A. However, not any video format file can be imported to Camtasia Studio for compatible editing and we must ensure that the video file is on Camtasia Studio supported video format list. So it is worth trying if you are of a more technical inclination.Camtasia Studio has given us too much surprise when editing videos and either novice or expert videographer like to use it to edit his video files. This took only a few seconds to convert a 45 minute video, which was had only upload 10% to Online Audio Convertor. You do have to install FFMpeg but this is free, cross platform and open source. I recently turned to ffmpeg since this was faster than uploading the file.Īll I have to do ( as explained on stackoverflow) is:įfmpeg -i input.mp4 -q:a 0 -map a output.mp3 select the Quality setting (192kps or 128kps).I was lucky enough to stumble across the following site It is possible to open a m4a file in Audacity and export to ‘mp3’ but you need to install the separate ffmpeg library, which handles video files. ‘m4a’ seems to be supported by iTunes but ‘mp3’ is the recommended format by most podcasting sites and apps. It often has better audio quality and compression than mp3 but isn’t always supported by audio playback software. Which is why many video software output ‘m4a’ rather than ‘mp3’. The MPEG-4 file format ‘mp4’, normally associated with video encoding, when it only includes audio information is an ‘.m4a’ file. It seems like it should be such a simple thing to do. I couldn’t actually find many reliable rsources online explaining this. In this post I will explain how I convert the file to.

These videos form the source material for my audio podcast. I use Camtasia to record my videos for YouTube. The software that I use to record my videos for YouTube (and which form the source material for my audio podcast) does not output.
