Convert WPD to MP4

Understanding the wpd and mp4 file formats

WPD is a file extension associated with WordPerfect Document files, created by Corel WordPerfect, a word processing application. These files typically contain formatted text, images, and other document elements. MP4, on the other hand, is a widely used multimedia container format (MPEG-4 Part 14) that stores video, audio, subtitles, and images. MP4 files are commonly used for video playback on various devices and platforms.

Why convert wpd to mp4?

Converting a WPD document to MP4 is not a standard conversion, as these formats serve different purposes. However, you might want to create a video presentation or tutorial from the contents of a WordPerfect document, making it accessible as a video file.

How to convert wpd to mp4

Since there is no direct converter from WPD to MP4, you need to follow a two-step process:

1. Convert WPD to a presentation or image format: Open your WPD file in Corel WordPerfect or a compatible word processor. Save or export the document as a PDF or a series of images (such as PNG or JPEG).
2. Create an MP4 video from the exported content: Use video editing software to import the PDF or images and create a video. You can add narration, transitions, and background music as needed.

Recommended software for conversion

• Corel WordPerfect: Open your WPD file and use File → Save As to export to PDF or image formats.
• Microsoft PowerPoint: Import the exported images or PDF pages into slides, then use File → Export → Create a Video to save as MP4.
• Adobe Premiere Pro or OpenShot: Import images or PDF pages and create a video timeline, then export as MP4.

Online alternatives

Some online converters can convert PDF or images to MP4 slideshows, such as Clideo or Kapwing. First, convert your WPD to PDF or images, then upload to these platforms to create an MP4 video.

Summary

While there is no direct WPD to MP4 converter, you can achieve this by exporting your document to PDF or images and then using video editing software to create an MP4 video. Corel WordPerfect and Microsoft PowerPoint are recommended for the initial export, while PowerPoint, Premiere Pro, or online tools can help you generate the final MP4 file.
