# Opening existing movies

Captivate stores movies in a folder named MyCaptivateProjects, which is placed in your My Documents folder when Captivate is installed. When you start Captivate, movies stored in the MyCaptivateProjects folder are automatically listed on the Start Page under Open a recent movie. All Captivate projects use the .cpt file extension.

#### To open a movie:

1. Open Captivate.

2. Under Open a recent movie, click on the movie you wish to open. If the movie is not listed, click Open and navigate to the movie (default storage location for movies is My Documents/MyCaptivateProjects.

Caution: When opening a Captivate project created with RoboDemo, note the following. Projects created with RoboDemo versions prior to version 4 use a .ncp file extension. RoboDemo 4 and 5 projects use the .rd file extension. Captivate upgrades older projects (those using the .ncp and .rd file extensions) as they are opened in Captivate and gives them the new Captivate file extension of .cp. Captivate also saves backup files of the older projects in the Backups folder. These backup files are saved before the conversion occurs, and you can open the files in RoboDemo.
