Convert MEPX to MEPJ

Understanding the MEPX and MEPJ file formats

MEPX and MEPJ are both project-related file formats used by Movavi Video Editor. The MEPX file is a project file format introduced in newer versions of Movavi Video Editor, storing all the information about your video editing project, such as timeline, effects, and media references. The MEPJ file is an older project file format used by previous versions of the same software, containing similar project data but structured differently for compatibility with earlier releases.

Why convert MEPX to MEPJ?

Converting MEPX to MEPJ is necessary if you need to open a project created in a newer version of Movavi Video Editor (MEPX) in an older version that only supports MEPJ files. This ensures backward compatibility and allows collaboration or editing on systems with older software versions.

How to convert MEPX to MEPJ

There is no direct, official converter for MEPX to MEPJ because Movavi Video Editor does not natively support saving projects in the older MEPJ format from the newer software. However, you can try the following workaround:

1. Open your MEPX project in the latest version of Movavi Video Editor.
2. Export your project as a video file using File → Export → Video.
3. Install the older version of Movavi Video Editor that supports MEPJ files.
4. Import the exported video into the older Movavi Video Editor and save the project as a MEPJ file.

Note: This method will not preserve your editing timeline, effects, or separate media tracks. It only allows you to continue working with the final video in the older software.

Best software for MEPX to MEPJ conversion

The best and only reliable software for handling MEPX and MEPJ files is Movavi Video Editor. No third-party tools currently support direct conversion between these project formats. Always use the official Movavi software for the best compatibility and results.

Summary

While direct conversion from MEPX to MEPJ is not supported, exporting your project as a video and re-importing it into an older Movavi version is a possible workaround. For full project compatibility, it is recommended to use the same version of Movavi Video Editor across all devices.
