How to open STU file?
The most common problem when using Pinnacle Studio Project Format is that a specific STU is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open STU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STU 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 Pinnacle Studio

Programs to open STU file
Remember to download programs supporting STU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pinnacle Studio with STU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STU file still does not use the Pinnacle Studio 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STU file with the Pinnacle Studio application.
Step 3. Update Pinnacle Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Pinnacle Studio program, it is possible that Pinnacle Studio Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to STU 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover STU 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 STU file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair STU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Avid Technology
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file STU 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 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 STU file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STU file again. However, some background programs may block the STU file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
