How to open TPI file?
An often recurring problem with EDIUS Plugin Format is that TPI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TPI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TPI 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 EDIUS
In this case, you should first verify that the EDIUS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing EDIUS 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TPI files.
Programs to open TPI file
Remember to download programs supporting TPI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EDIUS with TPI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TPI file to open in the EDIUS application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TPI file with the EDIUS program.
Step 3. Update EDIUS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EDIUS program with the EDIUS Plugin Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Grass Valley USA, LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPI 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TPI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TPI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TPI 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 TPI files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TPI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Thomson
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TPI 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. It is best to move TPI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TPI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
