Screenr creates .mp4 videos that you can download and edit after recording. Tom created a how-to screencast on the process: https://player.vimeo.com/video/149173087
What you can't do is edit a Screenr video and then re-upload the video to your Screenr page.
Thank you for your reply. I tried placing my screencast into Windows Live Movie Maker, but keep getting a message that my .mp4 file is not supported and therefore, cannot be imported. Any suggestions? Thank you again for your very helpful post.
Please Help! Can anyone guide me through the steps for downloadingK-Lite Codec Pack Full? I don't know which one to download and do not know if I downloaded it correctly. I still have not been able to import my screenr video into Windows Movie Maker for editing. Thanking you in advance for your insight!
I can't guarantee that the Screenr mp4 files are compatible with Camtasia, but Camtasia does import mp4 files, but all mp4 files are not created equal as advised by my friends at Techsmith - a disclaimer here - I have been a beta tester for Techsmith's Camtasia since version 4 - and somewhat biased here.

Hi Helena -

YouTube's video editor is another option since Screenr can publish directly to YouTube. And here's a thread with some more ideas for editing your videos.
Hi David,

if you install the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack you should then be able to edit mp4's in movie maker
HI Helena - Phil's suggestion to install the K-lite pack will likely fix the issue.
K-Lite Codec Pack Full (accept all default installation options):

David:
Techsmith has a support article on their site warning AGAINST using the k-Lite Codec pack. It wreaks havoc on a Camtasia installation.
Incidentally, Techsmith's Camtasia can import mp4 files into Camtasia for editing. I have not tried it with Screenr however.
Its more an issue with camtasia, and is easily fixed by repairing the camtasia install.
Thank you Phil and David for your solution. I appreciate your concern Richard. I will install K-lite and see how it works. Will keep you posted.

My suggestion is to download the Camtasia Studio trial and import the mp4 into a Camtasia Project file.
Thank you Richard. I like your idea and will do it. I have not used Camtasia Studio before, I hope it is straight forward.
