What is a WCP file?

WCP files mostly belong to Windows Movie Maker.

WCP files come in several types. They share the same extension but serve different purposes.
Use the matching tool for the file type you have:

  • Video Editing Projects: some of these files use the Microsoft Compound File format. They are created by Windows Movie Maker and sometimes used by systems like Vegas Pro (EDIUS).
  • Scientific Data: some are Whole Cell Patch Clamp data files made with WinWCP for recording cell activity.
  • HMI Projects: some serve as Weintek HMI project files and work with tools such as WinCC Flexible or Weintek EasyBuilder. More details can be found at Siemens HMI automation.
  • Compiled Help Files: some are used as WinCHM help files in UTF-16 (LE) format, similar to traditional WinHelp compiled files. See Softany for additional info.

FilExt.com note: Examine the file’s metadata to decide which category applies and open it with the appropriate software.

How to open a WCP file

You need a suitable software like Windows Movie Maker to open a WCP 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 WCP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WCP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
