Camtasia in Premier
I have been working on a website walkthrough the past few days and have just encountered a major road block. When I brought the Camtasia AVIs into Premier they looked awful. As a test I exported a clip out of Premier into .aaf format and started an AfterEffects project with that. That made the video look fine. So I cut my entire project in Premier with the plan of bringing it into AfterEffects when I was done and rendering it out high-quality. Unfortunately you cannot bring transitions into AfterEffects. Now I am stuck recutting every transition in the entire piece. Does anyone know a way around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What screen resolution did you use to capture with Camtasia? This often effects the quality of the AVI.

Couple of questions:
1) What is your capture codec in Camtasia?
2) What is the screen capture size?
3) What are your Premiere Pro project settings?Aanarav Sareen

I have found that PPro handles Camtasia material excellently with the following caveats:
1. Ignore the alpha channel (in AE as well)
2. Set Premiere Pro’s project settings using the “desktop” heading in the “custom” section, then choose the TechSmith codec or uncompressed with the same frame size as the Camtasia capture…(often it is 1024×768 or some other res that is common for computer screens but not for video).TimK,
