What is a .WLVS file?
A .WLVS file is a special kind of file that is used by a program called Windows Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker is a tool that people used to make their own movies and slideshows at home. The .WLVS file keeps important information about how the video should look and sound. This includes things like how big the video is (width and height), how clear the picture is (bit rate), how smooth the motion is (frame rate), and what kind of sound is used (audio format).
Unfortunately, you can't use Windows Movie Maker anymore because it's been discontinued, which means the company stopped making or supporting it. It used to come with the Windows operating system, so if you have an older computer, you might still have it.
If you ever made a video in Windows Movie Maker and wanted to keep the same look and sound for other videos, you could save these settings as a .WLVS file. Here's how you could do it: In Windows Movie Maker, you would go to the option to save your movie, then choose to create a custom setting. You'd give your setting a name, change it to how you like, and save it. This saved file is the .WLVS file.
These .WLVS files are kept in a specific place on your computer, in a folder that's usually found at C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Video Profiles. For Windows Movie Maker to use these settings again, the .WLVS file needs to be in this folder.
You could also share your video settings with friends or other people who use Windows Movie Maker. You'd just send them your .WLVS file, and they'd put it in the same folder on their computer. Then, when they open Windows Movie Maker, they'd see your custom settings and could use them for their videos.
