How to Import Existing Video into Screen Studio

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:

1. Open Screen Studio and click on the File menu
2. Look for and select the ‘Create Project from Video’ option
3. Choose the MP4 file you want to import
4. Wait for Screen Studio to process your video

Once imported, you can use Screen Studio’s editing tools to enhance your video, add annotations, or make other adjustments.

Current Limitations

It’s important to note that Screen Studio has some limitations when working with existing videos. You cannot currently:

• Combine multiple video clips into one project
• Merge separate videos within the same project
• Import multiple video files simultaneously

The development team has acknowledged these limitations and plans to add more features in future updates. For now, you’ll need to work with one video file at a time.

Alternatives

If you need to work with multiple video clips, Borumi offers a viable alternative. This tool provides:

• The ability to record and combine multiple scenes
• Seamless clip joining functionality
• Support for long-form content creation

Borumi works particularly well for creating educational content, such as:

• Multi-part tutorial series
• Step-by-step guides
• Course content with multiple sections

The tool’s ability to handle multiple clips makes it a practical choice when you need to create more complex video content that requires combining several recordings.
