convert vpb file to something that can be opened in photos legacy

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Saeid. I'll be happy to help you out today.You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

To convert a VPB file to a format that can be opened in the Photos app, you can try the following steps:

Download and install a third-party video converter software on your computer. There are several free and paid options available, such as Handbrake, Any Video Converter, and Freemake Video Converter.

Open the video converter software and import the VPB file you want to convert. The exact steps for importing files may vary depending on the software you are using.

Choose a compatible video format for the output file. The Photos app can open various video file formats, such as MP4, MOV, and WMV. Check the Photos app documentation for a full list of supported file types.

Configure the video conversion settings, such as resolution, bitrate, and frame rate, as per your requirements.

Start the video conversion process and wait for it to complete. The time it takes to convert the file may vary depending on the file size and your computer's processing power.

Once the conversion is complete, open the Photos app and import the converted file into a new video project. You should now be able to edit the video using the Photos app.

 

importing photos

Thank you for clearing that out. It looks like you are importing the files using the Photos app. When you import photos using this app, the files get imported into your Pictures library. To view these files, refer to these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• On the list of folders on the left side of the window, click on Pictures. You shall see the photos imported from the SD card using the Photos app.

Another option you have is to import the files solely using File Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

• Connect the SD card into the computer.
• Launch File Explorer.
• Click on This PC.
• Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.
• Double-click on the SD card.
• Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose
  Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select
  Paste (Ctrl + V).
• If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.
• If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.

Once you're able to get the hang of the tricks, importing photos will not be a challenge anymore.
