How to open WCST file?
An often recurring problem with Wirecast Document is that WCST is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WCST, 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 WCST 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 Wirecast
In this case, you should first verify that the Wirecast application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Wirecast 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 WCST with Wirecast. Below you will find a list of applications that support WCST files.
Programs to open WCST file
Remember to download programs supporting WCST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wirecast with WCST files
If, despite the installed application, the WCST file does not start in the Wirecast 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WCST file with the Wirecast program.
Step 3. Update Wirecast to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Wirecast program, it is possible that Wirecast Document requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Telestream website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WCST 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WCST file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WCST file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WCST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WCST 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WCST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Telestream help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WCST 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WCST file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WCST file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
