What is a CIP file?

CIP files mostly belong to Tempo by Cavena. CIP file extension is primarily associated with the proprietary subtitle format used to create movie subtitles in Tempo, a subtitle preparation software developed by Cavena. A CIP file contains subtitle text and captions saved alongside a timeline to synchronize subtitles and audio output during video playback. InPrint 2, a design software for creating visual support and learning materials stores design documents in CIP files. The CIP file extension is also associated with Ghost Keylogger, a legacy spyware that records a user's keystrokes and visited web addresses. CryptoBuddy, an obsolete software for encrypting/decrypting computer files stores encrypted data in CIP files.

How to open CIP files

CIP file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our analysis of the CIP files produces the following result:

The CIP file extension is used very often and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

The remaining 55% of all CIP files are different files with different signatures, often e.g. Cisco IP Phone Image bitmap, RTF, certificate, ZIP and CIP. Files like these are sometimes linked to cardh, cardm, cardj, kelx, eventids or presets. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your CIP file!
