How to open CMPROJ file?
The main problem with Camtasia Project Format is that the CMPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CMPROJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMPROJ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Camtasia Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Camtasia Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Camtasia Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CMPROJ files.
Programs to open CMPROJ file
Remember to download programs supporting CMPROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Camtasia Studio with CMPROJ files
If, despite the installed application, the CMPROJ file does not start in the Camtasia Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CMPROJ file with the Camtasia Studio program.
Step 3. Update Camtasia Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Camtasia Studio program with the Camtasia Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the TechSmith Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMPROJ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CMPROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CMPROJ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMPROJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CMPROJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CMPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CMPROJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use TechSmith help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMPROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CMPROJ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CMPROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CMPROJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CMPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
