What is a .MXC2 file?
A .MXC2 file is a type of cache file used by MAGIX software programs, including Music Maker and Movie Studio (previously known as Movie Edit Pro). This file helps the software run faster by storing metadata, which is essentially data about other data. Specifically, the metadata in an MXC2 file helps the software quickly generate previews of media files like videos and music tracks that are stored in various folders and subfolders on your computer.
When you use MAGIX software to work on audio or video projects, it automatically creates these MXC2 files. These files are not meant to be opened directly by users. Instead, they are used by the software to speed up the loading and previewing of media files in the Media Pool, which is a feature within the software where you can browse and manage your media files.
If you find that your computer has a lot of MXC2 files and you want to free up space, you can delete them. However, keep in mind that doing so might make the software slower when generating previews because it will have to recreate the cache files.
The main programs that use MXC2 files are MAGIX Movie Studio and MAGIX Music Maker 2024. These programs handle the creation, management, and referencing of MXC2 files automatically, so typically, you won't need to do anything with these files yourself.
