camtasia

A Python API for Camtasia projects.

Quickstart

To work with an existing Camtasia project, first load it:

import camtasia
proj = camtasia.load_project('path/to/project.cmproj')

The media_bin attribute of Project gives you access to elements in the media bin:

# list the Media in the MediaBin
for media in proj.media_bin:
    print(media.source)

# add a new media to the media bin
proj.media_bin.import_media('path/to/image/or/movie.mov')

The timeline attribute of Project gives you access to elements on the timeline:

# list the tracks on the timeline
for track in proj.timeline.tracks:
    print(track.name)

# list the timeline markers
for marker in proj.timeline.markers:
    print(marker.name, marker.time)

# print details of media on the timeline
for track in proj.timeline.tracks:
    for media in track.medias:
        print(media.start, media.duration)
        for marker in media.markers:
            print(marker.name, marker.time)

And if you have edits to the project that you want to write to disk, use the save() method:

proj.save()

pytsc

The package also installs a command-line program called pytsc which exposes a lot of the API. You can get help on pytsc with the "-h" flag:

$ pytsc -h

You can also get help on particular subcommands by putting "-h" after the subcommand name:

$ pytsc tracks-ls -h
