What is APZ file?
The file in the APZ format belongs to the Video Files category. It was designed by Indigo Rose. Video Files consists of 546 similar files. AMS Shared Project Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The AutoPlay Media Studio application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Indigo Rose Corporation.
How to open APZ file?
The most common problem when using AMS Shared Project Format is that a specific APZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file APZ 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 APZ 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 AutoPlay Media Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the AutoPlay Media Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name AutoPlay Media Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file APZ with AutoPlay Media Studio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open APZ files.
Programs to open APZ file
Remember to download programs supporting APZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoPlay Media Studio with APZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the APZ file still does not use the AutoPlay Media Studio 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the APZ file with the AutoPlay Media Studio application.
Step 3. Update AutoPlay Media Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AutoPlay Media Studio program with the AMS Shared 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 Indigo Rose Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The APZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the APZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file APZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected APZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of APZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular APZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Indigo Rose help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted APZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the APZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the APZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
