The .XESC file extension is used to describe files associated with Expression Encoder Screen Capture (XESC), a software application used for capturing video, audio, and other real-time data. It is used for capturing and broadcasting, as well as managing and editing the data for various broadcast formats.
What is the XESC File Extension?
The .XESC file extension is the standard format for data stored in files using Expression Encoder Screen Capture. It is technically referred to as an "Extensible Screen Capture Proposed Media" file and contains data such as encoded video and audio streams, augmented reality overlays, replay graphics, profanity detection filters, etc. To view or edit XESC files requires the use of dedicated applications such as Expression Encoder 4.
Released by Microsoft
The .XESC file extension was released by Microsoft as part of Expression Encoder 4, a professional video production tool. Other similar program extensions include .WMV, .AVI, .MP4, and .MKV. All these formats are supported for input in Expression Encoder 4, however only XESC files are supported for output as Expression Encoder was made with the purpose of creating this format.
Features of XESC File Format
The primary purpose of the .XESC file extension is to store all the pieces of data required to capture and broadcast displays activities across various sites or media players. This includes captured video and audio streams from multiple sources, encoding settings applied to them, transitions between clips, a list of markers separated by time code, etc. Additionally, the format provides features not found in other formats like inserting Augmented Reality objects into broadcasts or using profanity detection filters.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XESC) 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 .XESC 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 .XESC 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 .XESC 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 .XESC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XESC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XESC 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 .XESC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XESC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XESC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
