What is a TSCSHADERVID file?
A TSCSHADERVID file contains a dynamic background used by TechSmith Camtasia, a screen recording and video editing application. It stores plain text settings that make up the appearance and movement of the background that Camtasia users add to videos to enhance them. Users primarily open TSCSHADERVID files in Camtasia but may also open them with a text editor to view their contents.

Opening a TSCSHADERVID file with a text editor
Since TSCSHADERVID files are saved in plain text, you can also open them with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (macOS), or a source code editor. You may need to rename the .tscshadervid file extension to .txt for the text editor to recognize it.
When opened in a text editor or source code editor, you can modify the properties of the TSCSHADERVID file. However, if you incorrectly edit the file, you may inadvertently break the dynamic background.
