Convert WMV to VPROJ

Understanding WMV and VPROJ file formats

WMV (Windows Media Video) is a widely used video compression format developed by Microsoft. It is commonly used for streaming and storing video content on Windows platforms. VPROJ is a project file format used by VideoPad Video Editor. Unlike video files, VPROJ files do not contain actual video data; instead, they store references to media files, edits, effects, and project settings.

Why convert WMV to VPROJ?

Converting a WMV file to a VPROJ file is not a traditional conversion. Instead, it involves importing the WMV video into VideoPad Video Editor and saving the editing project as a VPROJ file. This allows you to edit the WMV video and preserve your editing progress for future work.

How to convert WMV to VPROJ

Follow these steps to import a WMV file and save it as a VPROJ project in VideoPad Video Editor:

1. Download and install VideoPad Video Editor from NCH Software.
2. Open VideoPad Video Editor.
3. Go to File → Open Project or File → Add File(s) and select your WMV file to import it into the project.
4. Edit your video as needed using the available tools and effects.
5. To save your project, go to File → Save Project As and choose a location to save your VPROJ file.

Key points to remember
