What is a CAMSC file?
A CAMSC file contains a set of keyboard shortcuts used by the macOS version of TechSmith Camtasia, a screen recording and video editing application. It stores a list of shortcuts and their associated actions in plain text. Camtasia users type shortcuts stored in a CAMSC file to more quickly perform actions, such as adding the last used transition or to start recording.
More Information
Camtasia has various recording and video editing features for creating various types of videos, including software demonstrations and tutorials. In addition, you can configure shortcuts for the features in Camtasia and export them to share with other users.
You can access the keyboard shortcuts in the macOS version of Camtasia differently depending on the version of the operating system:
- macOS 13 or later - Select
- macOS 12 or earlier - Select
After opening the tab, click the gear icon and select to export the keyboard shortcut set as a CAMSC file other Camtasia users can import.
NOTE: The Windows version of Camtasia saves keyboard shortcuts in .CAMSHORTCUTS files instead of CAMSC files.
How to open a CAMSC file
You can only open CAMSC files with the macOS version of TechSmith Camtasia. To open and add CAMSC files in Camtasia, you can double-click the file. You can also click the gear icon and select in the tab of the Camtasia settings or preferences.
Opening a CAMSC file with a text editor
Since CAMSC files store plain text, you can also open them with a text editor, such as Apple TextEdit. You may need to rename the .camsc file extension to .txt for the text editor to recognize it.
When opened in a text editor, you can modify the properties of the CAMSC file. However, if you incorrectly edit the file, you may inadvertently break the keyboard shortcuts.
