Playing with Camtasia project file
I had created a video using Camtasia last night using screenshot and planned to upload in the morning.
Before turning off the system, I moved the images into another drive.
In the morning, I opened the .camproj (Camtasia project) file and to my surprise all the images in it gone missing :(
A dialog box was presented to search and point location for each image. I had almost 50+ images!
With curiosity I opened (Introduction.camproj) in text editor it was a simple XML file :)
The imported images were looking like:
<clipbin_object>
<clipname>C:\Users\power\Desktop\MoreOnProduct\Step1.png</clipname>
</clipbin_object>
To keep things simple, I copied (Introduction.camproj) to the folder where all screenshots were present under directory images/
Opened Introduction.camproj in gvim and triggered the following command
:%s/C:\\Users\\power\\Desktop\\MoreOnProduct\\Step1.png/images/g
It reflected as:
<clipbin_object>
<clipname>images\Step1.png</clipname>
</clipbin_object>
Finally I got the video to the original state.
