Camtasia's AppleScript export verb is a non-functional stub on 2026.1.3
(exportToFile: with no file/codec params), and no headless render binary
ships in the app bundle, so export-video drives the GUI via macOS
Accessibility (System Events): Export > Local File > QuickTime Movie >
Options > Apple ProRes 422 > set name/folder > Export.
- @camkit/darwin: exportVideo({out, codec}); CODEC_LABELS map leaves room
for prores4444/h264. Checks Accessibility + requires an open document.
- @camkit/cli: cmdExportVideo, registered in COMMANDS, help + summary.
- README: rationale for why export must drive the GUI (options tried,
why UI scripting is the only working path), Prerequisites note.
Verified against a real .cmproj: 1920x1080 prores/apcn (ProRes 422) .mov.

README had grown to ~170 lines with three reference sections that are rationale, not overview. Move them to docs/ and link from a Docs index: - docs/transcription.md (Transcription engines) - docs/captions.md (Captions in the Camtasia UI) - docs/export-video.md (Why export-video drives the GUI) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
