The USM file extension is a game video file primarily associated with Unreal Engine, developed by Epic Games. It is typically used to store recorded in-game sequences or machinima, which is animation created from game visuals. The USM file format can also store game sequences and entrances that have been edited post-game play. It is known for its high quality even when the video has either been compressed or edited.
More on USM File Extension
USM files generally start with "USM" header and are then compressed using rather simple algorithms, such as Huffman compression. The USM data includes header information, video frames and audio, as well as subtitles and viewing parameters. This format is important for creating videos of in-game action, as it preserves high frame rates which ensures smooth and uninterrupted transitions in animations. The USM format also supports stereo sound recording.
Additionally, the USM file can store text data such as subtitles, network communication between players and in-game scripts. Other related file extensions include VUX, BINK, BPK, HELL, WVE, and ZRC.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .USM) 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 .USM 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 .USM 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 .USM 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 .USM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .USM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .USM 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 .USM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .USM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .USM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
