Viewing Camtasia SWF output in Robohelp 10

Is it possible to view SWF videos created using Camtasia in Robohelp 10?

I imported the video files into my Baggage folder but the video is still not viewable, even after publishing the project. I assume this has something to do with the additional files Camtasia generates?

I've seen earlier posts indicating that Camtasia created flash videos didn't work in previous versions of Robohelp. I'm hoping this isn't the case anymore. If anyone knows of a way to make it work, I'd appreciate the help.

Hi there

Can you tell us what version of Camtasia you are using? And what your output options were? And what the output is you are creating in RoboHelp?

Cheers... Rick

I'm using Camtasia Studio 8.

These videos are being sent to me by another trainer to embed in Robohelp, which is the challenge I'm facing. If I had my way, I'd have developed them using Captivate instead. I tested a Captivate SWF and it was viewable in Robohelp. Instead, he created these in Camtasia and wants me to make them available in a help system. I did try publishing the raw CamProj myself, using custom production settings: MP4 - Flash/HTML5, video size: 1250x720, everything else left on the defaults. The results in Robohelp have been the same, as detailed above, either way.

Thanks for responding quickly!

Thanks for providing part of what I asked for. Now about the rest!

From RoboHelp, what is the output you are attempting to create? I'd like to know that so I can test as closely as I can to what you are trying to do.

Cheers... Rick
