What is a .MLT file?
An MLT file is a type of project file specifically used by Meltytech Shotcut, which is a free, open-source video editing software. The content of an MLT file is structured in XML format, which is a way to store data in a readable form. This file includes all the necessary settings and information for a video project. It details which media files (like videos and audio clips) are used, where they are placed on the video timeline, what effects are added to them, and the settings for both video and audio outputs.
It's important to note that MLT files themselves do not contain the actual media files such as video clips or images. Instead, they contain links or references to these files. This means that if you move or delete the original media files, the MLT file will not be able to locate them, and your project might not work as expected.
To open an MLT file, you need to use Meltytech Shotcut. Since this is the program that creates MLT files, it is also the best-suited to open and edit them. You can download Meltytech Shotcut for free from its official website, and it is available for various operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, you can open an MLT file by launching Shotcut, going to the 'File' menu, and selecting 'Open File' to navigate to your MLT file.
