How to open ANME file?

The main problem with Anime Studio Project Format is that the ANME file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ANME to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ANME file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Anime Studio Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the Anime Studio Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Anime Studio Pro into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ANME files.

Programs to open ANME file

Remember to download programs supporting ANME files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Anime Studio Pro with ANME files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ANME file still does not use the Anime Studio Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Anime Studio Pro application as the default for handling the ANME file.

Step 3. Update Anime Studio Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Anime Studio Pro program with the Anime Studio Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANME file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ANME file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ANME file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ANME file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ANME files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ANME file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ANME file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ANME files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ANME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ANME to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ANME file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
