What is TVA file?
The file with the extension TVA is the 3D Image Files file type. The author of this format is Truevision3D. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Truevision3D Animated Actor is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is TV3D SDK. This was created by Truevision3D.
How to open TVA file?
The most common problem when using Truevision3D Animated Actor is that a specific TVA is not associated with the program. This causes the file TVA 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 TVA 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 TV3D SDK
In this case, you should first verify that the TV3D SDK application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TV3D SDK into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TVA files.
Programs to open TVA file
Remember to download programs supporting TVA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TV3D SDK with TVA files
If, despite the installed application, the TVA file does not start in the TV3D SDK application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 TVA file with the TV3D SDK application.
Step 3. Update TV3D SDK to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TV3D SDK program with the Truevision3D Animated Actor file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Truevision3D website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TVA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TVA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TVA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TVA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ability to automatically repair TVA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Truevision3D, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TVA 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TVA 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 TVA file again. However, some background programs may block the TVA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
