Listed in Looking into how to convert WFP to MP4? You've come to the right place! WFP is not a video format. It's a project file created by Filmora 9, Filmora X, Filmora 11, Filmora 12, Filmora 13 or Filmora 14. To play a WFP file on prevalent devices or platforms, such as YouTube and iPhone, we need to convert the WFP file to a real video file format, such as MP4. In this post, let's have a look at 2 easy and free ways to convert WFP to MP4.
What Is a WFP File
A file with the .WFP file extension is a Wondershare Filmora project file created by Filmora, a paid video editing software that costs $49.99/year for the basic plan and $99.88/year for the advanced plan, which includes access to 2.3M+ Filmora Creative Assets and additional AI credits.
Unlike MP4, AVI, MKV files, or other media files that contain actual media files, a WFP file holds project-related materials. This involves the timeline with video and audio tracks, the references of the media files based on the names and locations, and the details about the edit decisions, including the sequence of the clips, the applied transition effects, etc. A WFP file can instruct Filmora where to find the involved media items and assets for a video project.
Simply put, WFP doesn't hold actual video, photo, or audio files. It's not for playback but for editing videos in Filmora. Thus, we need to export the WFP file to MP4 or other real media format for playing a WFP file,
How to Convert WFP to MP4 with Filmora
As mentioned earlier, WFP files are project files used to create videos in Filmora. That means you can't convert a WFP file directly to MP4. Instead, you need to open the WFP file in Filmora first and then export the project as an MP4 video.
Note:
- If you’re using the free version of Filmora, the exported MP4 file will include a large, colored Filmora watermark, so you’ll need to remove it afterward.
- If you want to export your WFP project directly as an MP4 without a watermark while using the free version, try the workaround described in Method 2 below.
Step 1. Open Up Filmora
Go to the official site of Wondershare Filmora to download and install the video editing software on Windows or Mac computer. Launch it up.
Step 2. Add WFP to Filmora
Navigate to the top menu bar of Filmora to find File. Click on File and choose Open Project. Select the target WFP file from the pop-up folder and then press Open for adding the WFP file to Filmora.
Step 3. Convert WFP to MP4
Go to the top right corner of Filmora to find EXPORT. Click on it and then select EXPORT WITH WATERMARK. Scroll down the Local list to find MP4, and we select it. After that, we need to name the output file and select the output file folder. Press EXPORT. Filmora starts to convert WFP to MP4.
How to Convert WFP to MP4 for Free without Watermark
Wondershare Filmora is currently the only program that can open WFP files. However, the free version adds a watermark to exported videos. For most users, the real goal is simple: convert WFP to MP4 without paying for Filmora.
There are methods to remove the watermark directly inside Filmora, such as cracked versions or unofficial license codes. However, these approaches involve legal and security risks. A safer alternative method is to open the WFP project in Filmora and record the playback using a screen recording tool like VideoProc Converter AI. This method simply records the project preview and saves it as an MP4 file, so there are no legal or security risks involved.
