How to open TREC file?
The most common problem when using Camtasia Studio Recorded Session is that a specific TREC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TREC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TREC 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TREC with Camtasia Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support TREC files.
Programs to open TREC file
Remember to download programs supporting TREC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Camtasia Studio with TREC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TREC file still does not use the Camtasia Studio program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Camtasia Studio application as the default for handling the TREC file.
Step 3. Update Camtasia Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Camtasia Studio program with the Camtasia Studio Recorded Session file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the TechSmith Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TREC 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TREC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TREC file. However, remember that not every infected TREC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TREC files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TREC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use TechSmith Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TREC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TREC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TREC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
