What is a WXM file?

WXM files mostly belong to Wirecast or wxMaxima. The *.wxm file extension has two main uses. First, and most commonly, it refers to video metadata files created by Wirecast, a live video streaming and production software. These *.wxm files store information about video recordings, including metadata about streams, layouts, and other production elements. Second, *.wxm can also be a wxMaxima batch file. wxMaxima is a cross-platform graphical front-end for the computer algebra system Maxima. These batch files contain a sequence of Maxima commands to be executed in a specific order, automating tasks within wxMaxima.
