Q1: “I went on a couple vacations and want to edit some footage I took in Camtasia Studio 8.0 pro. My camera is Sony PMW-EX1. When I try importing, Camtasia says it’s an unknown format or incompatible. The files are .mxf. Should I convert Sony PMW-EX1 MXF to Camtasia Studio supported format first?”
Q2: “I included an MXF file from my Sony PMW-EX1 camcorder that caused Camtasia Studio 8 to crash, I guess my all my problems with Camtasia Studio 8 must be due to the fact that Camtasia 8 does not support MXF, so , is there anything I can do to get the Sony PMW-EX1 MXF video file worked with Camtasia?”

It does not support MXF, AVCHD files (.m2ts, .mts, and .m2t), XAVC, Video_TS, MPEG-2, MOD, Ogg, WebM, .RM (RealPlayer), .FLV (Flash Video), 3GPP, and SWF created outside Techsmith products. It means that those videos incompatible cannot be imported to Camtasia Studio directly and must be converted or re-recorded.
