WLMP is an acronym for Windows Live Movie Make Project. This is a project file saved from movie making project in Microsoft’s Windows Live Movie Maker, a free movie maker which is a component of Windows Essentials. You can use it to make movies from media files like videos, photos as well as music. WLMP is actually not a video file and cannot be opened or played by neither popular media players nor being shared on common online platforms.
