How to open file with .AV extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .AV file? Do you want to convert a .AV file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .AV

Full Name Developer Category
Final Draft AV Document Final Draft, Inc. Document Files
.AV

The AV (Final Draft AV Document) file extension is the proprietary format developed by Final Draft for its screenwriting solution of the same name. This file type stores a screenplay, TV episode, and other related screenwriting documents in an industry-standard format that is suited for the modern workflow. It can also be used for collaborative projects, allowing multiple editors to work on the same project.

Format Specifications

The AV file format consists of two parts: the story layer (the text as written and formatted by the user) and the presentation layer (the information about how the text should appear on the page). Both pieces are stored independently of each other, making it possible to open an AV document without issue even if there are conflicts between the presentation layer values. This format also supports graphical elements, such as scene headings and labels, which allow the user to get a better visual understanding of their work.

Similar Formats

Similar formats include FDX, FDS, FRX, and FDR.

Programs for WINDOWS system

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AV extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AV file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .AV file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .AV file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
