What is STU file?
The .STU file extension is used for the Pinnacle Studio project files, which store all the gathered multimedia materials into one package. It includes scripts, menus, transitions, effects and recordings to prepare the project’s movies. This file type is used to store the project in the program, and it must be linked to other Pinnacle Studio files for the project to be completed. Essentially, this file type is the backbone of any user's projects. [ ⏩ ] STU file extension
What is SDV file?
The SDV (Studio DV Project File) file is a Microsoft visual Studio.NET project file used by Microsoft Visual Studio. It contains data related to the project, segmenting it into two categories – settings and resources. The former includes user-defined properties such as start-up objects, references, compiler options, and debugging options, while the latter consists of source code files, images, text files, and more.

How to convert the file from STU to SDV?
To successfully convert the STU file to SDV, 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.STU). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SDV (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 SDV).
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. STU to SDV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting STU files to SDV 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 SDV, while before this step we had the STU file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SDV file, or not.
