How to open OSP file?

The most common problem when using OpenShot Project Format is that a specific OSP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open OSP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OSP 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 OpenShot

In this case, you should first verify that the OpenShot application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name OpenShot 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 OSP with OpenShot. Below is a list of programs that support the file OSP.

Programs to open OSP file

Step 2. Create association of OpenShot with OSP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OSP file to open in the OpenShot application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 OSP file with the OpenShot application.

Step 3. Update OpenShot to the latest version

If, despite the association of the OpenShot program with the OpenShot Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the OpenShot Studios website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The OSP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OSP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 OSP file. However, remember that not every infected OSP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OSP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OSP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Jonathan Thomas
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OSP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OSP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OSP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
