How to open VFT file?
The main problem with VideoStudio Filter Format is that the VFT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VFT 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 VFT 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 VideoStudio Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VideoStudio Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VideoStudio Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VFT with VideoStudio Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file VFT.
Programs to open VFT file
Remember to download programs supporting VFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VideoStudio Pro with VFT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VFT file to open in the VideoStudio Pro 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 VFT file with the VideoStudio Pro application.
Step 3. Update VideoStudio Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding VideoStudio Pro with VideoStudio Filter Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VFT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VFT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VFT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VFT file. 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 VFT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VFT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VFT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VFT file again. However, some background programs may block the VFT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
