If you have an existing video that you’d like to edit in Screen Studio, you can import it directly into the application. This is useful when you need to enhance previous recordings, or refine content you’ve already created.
Creating a Screen Studio Project from a video
Creating a project from an existing video in Screen Studio is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:
Open Screen Studio and click on the File menu
Look for and select the ‘Create project from video…’ option
Choose the MP4 file you want to import
Wait for Screen Studio to process your video
Once imported, you can use Screen Studio’s editing tools to enhance your video, or make other adjustments.
Unfortunately, this approach has some important limitations. For example, you cannot:
Combine multiple video clips into one project
Merge separate videos within the same project
Import multiple video files simultaneously
