Open WLMP File
WLMP extension files are the acronym for Windows Live Movie Maker Project File, these files fall into the category of "Video Files" and have a file format belonging to Microsoft.
Windows Movie Maker
It is a video editing software, developed by Microsoft, which is currently part of the Windows Essentials software suite. Its main file extension is MSWMM and WLMP.
Movie Maker is a paid application and is available in the Microsoft Store for Windows, although it has a free version with some limitations.
WLMP files are nothing more than project files, which save the data and meta-data that are generated when we edit a video with Movie Maker, and which consequently are very useful when we want to edit videos again through the creator of live movies.
The file includes transitions of effects, movies and music, as well as links to access videos or digital images, therefore, they do not contain the video itself, but the elements that make it possible to modify it.
With WLMP files we can recreate any modification or edition, in case they have been lost or corrupted in the process, and although they do not contain a video as such, WLMP files can be saved as any other compatible video format, such as WMV.
It is also possible to publish them on social networks, such as YouTube, Instagram and more.
WLMP files allow us to store any material linked to the project that might need to be stored in Windows Movie Maker.
