Step 1. Install Timeliner

Programs to open TL5 file
Remember to download programs supporting TL5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Timeliner with TL5 files
If, despite the installed application, the TL5 file does not start in the Timeliner 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TL5 file with the Timeliner application.
Step 3. Update Timeliner to the latest version
If, however, after binding Timeliner with Timeliner 5 Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TL5 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TL5 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TL5 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TL5 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TL5 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 TL5 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TL5 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TL5 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TL5 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TL5 to close. However, some background programs may block the TL5 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
