Create New Project

Learn about project files, and how to create and manage projects in Filmora.

The project (. wfp format) you create in Filmora contains the settings you select for each sequence in the timeline, as well as editing decisions, effects, and music used in the project.

Filmora project files don't store the source videos, audio, or images. They only save a reference to these types of media files based on the file names and locations. If you move, rename, or delete a source file, Filmora won't be able to find it automatically the next time you open a project that uses that piece of media.

Note:
For your convenience, Filmora offers you the option of archiving your source files all together with the project.
