How to open MXC2 file?

The most common problem when using MAGIX Cache Format is that a specific MXC2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file MXC2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MXC2 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 Movie Edit Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the Movie Edit Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Movie Edit Pro into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MXC2.

Programs to open MXC2 file

Remember to download programs supporting MXC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Movie Edit Pro with MXC2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MXC2 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MXC2 file with the Movie Edit Pro application.

Step 3. Update Movie Edit Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding Movie Edit Pro with MAGIX Cache Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MAGIX AG website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MXC2 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MXC2 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MXC2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MXC2 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 MXC2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MXC2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MAGIX
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXC2 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MXC2 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MXC2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
