A VideoPad project file has a .vpj extension. It stores the state of all the contents of a project, including bins and folders, clips, and sequences.

Important: A project file only stores the paths of media files (including video, audio, and image files), not the entire file contents. Please follow the instructions in Backing Up or Moving a Project to Another Computer if you want to keep the clip files together with the project.

The project file is only needed by the person editing the video. To share the finished video with other people, see Saving, Sharing, or Burning a Video.

An empty project is created when VideoPad starts. Only one project can be open at a time.
