How to open MODUS file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Mocha For Adobe After Effects Modus is that a specific MODUS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MODUS, 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 MODUS 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 Adobe After Effects

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe After Effects is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe After Effects 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 MODUS files.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe After Effects with MODUS files

If, despite the installed application, the MODUS file does not start in the Adobe After Effects application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MODUS file with the Adobe After Effects program.

Step 3. Update Adobe After Effects to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe After Effects program with the Adobe Mocha For Adobe After Effects Modus file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The MODUS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MODUS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MODUS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MODUS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MODUS file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MODUS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MODUS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MODUS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MODUS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MODUS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MODUS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
