HomeCamtasia Studio MP4 Importing Issues
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?
I have the latest version of Camtasia, I want to import an MP4 but it says "Erro: No codc available to render this file...." Does anybody know which codec I should download?
