Hello! I’m new to DeepAR Studio. How do I save a project and then open it for editing? Saves only .dprm files, not .deeparproj.

Once you have a project opened click on File \> Save Project to save a project. To open a project click on Open on the Home screen or File \> Open Project.

Should I open the entire \*\*\*.deeparproj folder or a single file? The folder itself does not open, the message “Failed to open the \*\*\*.deeparproj project.” appears. And in this folder there is only the project.dprm file, it also does not open.

You should open the `.deeparproj` folder. However if there is only a `.deepar` file inside the folder it’s not a valid project and cannot be opened. Try importing the `.deepar` file with File \> Import Effect and then save the project.

Could you make sure the file is valid and share it here? Also, could you try using another file? And if it’s working still can you try reinstalling the Studio?
