Do you use Camtasia Studio to record/capture your screencast in your daily life? Have you ever seen a boring popup dialog box with “Could not make copy of project, unable to produce
” error after complete editing and about to go to render your video? If not yet then you’re really lucky till now! But if you’re unlucky like me, then it’s a nightmare!!
But I’ve got a solution!
I know you’re now crazy about to know the tactic! Eh? 😛 Hold on a moment!
Before I share the solution, let me tell you what I got before getting the solution –
I was searched on Google and got many forum posts about this issue but no one gave the right way to solve this. Many posts referred me the same answer, “it’s a bug of Camtasia version 7/8 and your need to upgrade”. But I’m sure it’s not a bug because my other videos before the problematic was render absolutely fine.
Here is the problem:
Assume you have a long title for your screencast and you separated some of the words with ampersand “&"
, like “How to find & replace something”, right? The ampersand is the only devil that caused the problem! Don’t ask why caused it’s not the right place. 😉
The solution:
Simply avoid using “&
” in your title when creating/saving your Camtasia project files (.camrec and the .camproj). Instead, use solid a n d = “and”. If you already did use “&
” then just rename your project file(s) and it’ll work fine.
Caution:
Do not delete your project file(s) before checking this solution. Maybe it works for your but I do not guarantee that it’ll be the only reason of the problem and the solution for you in the future but it work for me fine till now.
I hope you’re now able to render your video as before.
