How to open VFX file?

The most common problem when using Animation Master Volumetric Effect Extension is that a specific VFX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VFX, 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 VFX 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 Animation:Master

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Animation:Master is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Animation:Master 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file VFX.

Programs to open VFX file

Remember to download programs supporting VFX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Animation:Master with VFX files

If, despite the installed application, the VFX file does not start in the Animation:Master application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VFX file with the Animation:Master program.

Step 3. Update Animation:Master to the latest version

If, however, after binding Animation:Master with Animation Master Volumetric Effect Extension there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFX file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The VFX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VFX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VFX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VFX 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 VFX files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VFX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VFX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 VFX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VFX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
