Name: techsmith-cost-tuning
Author: jeremylongshore

Overview

Guidance for cost tuning with TechSmith Snagit COM API and Camtasia automation.

Instructions

Key Considerations

Snagit COM API is Windows-only (requires COM registration)
Camtasia Producer CLI for batch rendering
PowerShell is the primary scripting language
Python interop via pywin32 (pip install pywin32)

Snagit COM Input Types

Value	Constant	Description
0	siiDesktop	Full desktop
2	siiRegion	User-selected region
4	siiWindow	Active window
5	siiFile	From file

Snagit COM Output Types

Value	Constant	Description
1	sioClipboard	Copy to clipboard
2	sioFile	Save to file
4	sioPrinter	Send to printer

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
COM not registered	Snagit not installed	Install and register COM server
Permission denied	Not running as admin	Elevate PowerShell
File locked	Snagit Editor has file open	Close editor first
