Open with MAGIX Sound Forge Pro 17. Available for Windows.

What is a .SFAP0 file?

A .SFAP0 file is a type of temporary audio file used by certain audio and video editing software. Specifically, it is created and used by MAGIX Sound Forge Pro and VEGAS Pro applications. These files are generated automatically when a user is editing projects with file extensions like .FRG (Sound Forge Pro Project files) or .VEG (VEGAS Pro Project files). The purpose of the .SFAP0 file is to act as an intermediate file that helps in managing and streaming audio data efficiently within the software. This makes the editing process smoother and faster.

The .SFAP0 files are not meant to be permanent and are usually deleted after their purpose is served, which is when the user finishes working on the project or closes the application.

To open or manage these .SFAP0 files, you would need to use MAGIX Sound Forge Pro 17 or MAGIX VEGAS Pro 21. These programs provide options to handle how these temporary files are managed. For instance, in Sound Forge Pro, you can go to the menu and select Options, then Preferences. In the preferences window, there is an option to hide these temporary files by checking the "Hide new temporary files" box. This can help keep your project folders cleaner.

MAGIX, the company that offers these programs, took over the development of Sound Forge Pro from Sony in 2016. Before Sony, the software was developed by Sonic Foundry. Sound Forge Pro is primarily an audio waveform editor, while VEGAS Pro is used for video editing. Both applications allow users to customize settings related to .SFAP0 files according to their workflow preferences.
