Opening USM Files
The USM file type is primarily associated with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
What is a USM file?
USM files mostly belong to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings by CD PROJEKT. USM filename extension is used by video files containing game cutscenes and prerecorded action sequences. This file type is associated with Scaleform GFx, a middleware that allows developers to create video game user interfaces with Flash technology. Prerecorded action sequences and cutscenes used in video games that use Scaleform GFx are stored as videos in USM files. A USM video may be used to render intros, storyline, level completion replay etc in a game.
How do you open USM files?
You need a suitable software like The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings from CD PROJEKT to open a USM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your USM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a USM file directly in the browser:.

USM format details:
A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the USM files:
The USM file type mainly uses a special format. The two most popular formats are as follows:
