What is FLC file?
The FLC file has been categorized as Video Files. The creator of this file is Autodesk. Video Files consists of 546 similar files. FLIC Animation is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use QuickTime Player to handle this file. This is a program created by Apple, Inc.. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the FLC file. The VideoStudio Pro, XAnim programs will also handle the file when the QuickTime Player program does not fulfill its role.
How to open FLC file?
The main problem with FLIC Animation is that the FLC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FLC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FLC 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 QuickTime Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickTime Player program installed. To do this, enter the name QuickTime Player into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FLC files.
Programs to open FLC file
Remember to download programs supporting FLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with FLC files
If, despite the installed application, the FLC file does not start in the QuickTime Player application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FLC file with the QuickTime Player program.
Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the QuickTime Player program, it is possible that FLIC Animation requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FLC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FLC file. However, remember that not every infected FLC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FLC 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FLC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FLC 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. If possible, you can try to move the FLC file to another location.
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 FLC to close. 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.
