Microsoft Photo Story Project Format | Microsoft | Video Files |
The .WP3 file format is a project file created by Microsoft Photo Story, a popular multimedia editing software included in several Microsoft Windows releases. The program is used to create multimedia presentations and slideshows with music and narration, combining multiple images, video, narration, and captions with a single click. WP3 files contain information about a specific project, such as the slide order and duration, music, videos, images, text, audio clips, captions, audio effects, and other multimedia elements. They also store project settings like the start time of each slide or looping behavior.
File Compatibility
WP3 files are natively compatible with Microsoft Photo Story. However, since the program ceased to be part of Windows releases beyond XP, third-party software can be used to open and edit them. Popular alternatives like Macromedia Flash MX, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Sony Vegas Pro are capable of opening the files. Some online editors like Ephnic Movie Maker for Mac can also be used to view the contents of WP3 projects. Additionally, Associated similar file extensions include .WPS, .JPG, .MOV, and .MP4.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WP3) 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 .WP3 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 .WP3 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 .WP3 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 .WP3 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WP3 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WP3 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 .WP3 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WP3 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WP3 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
