Step 2. Create association of Movie Edit Pro with AVD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AVD file still does not use the Movie Edit Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The AVD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AVD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AVD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AVD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AVD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AVD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use MAGIX help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AVD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AVD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AVD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AVD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
