Convert SKP to MOV

What is SKP file?

The SKP (SketchUp Document) file extension is a plain text file type in which SketchUp stores two and three-dimensional design information. It contains descriptions of a model created using the 3D modeling software. This file format is widely used in architecture, engineering, game design, film, and related industries. Compatibility SKP files are saved in ASCII format, which allows them to be viewed using standard text editing programs, such as Notepad. [ ⏩ ] SKP file extension

What is MOV file?

The MOV (MOV) file format is a commonly-used container for digital multimedia on the Apple Macintosh platform.

How to convert the file from SKP to MOV?

To successfully convert the SKP file to MOV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SKP). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MOV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MOV).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SKP to MOV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SKP files to MOV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MOV, while before this step we had the SKP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MOV file, or not.
