Extract text from NewsMaker projects (NMP)
To convert NMP projects to another format, you need EyePower Games NewsMaker or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Video Project File" file type, you need software like EyePower Games NewsMaker or a similar tool.
An .NMP file is a NewsMaker Project File originally developed by EyePower Games. It was predominantly used in the early 2010s by schools - particularly in Singapore - to help students create their own television news-casts, and even became a CODiE Awards finalist in 2011. The software allowed users to write scripts, act as news anchors, and record themselves using a webcam.
The main software used to open and edit these files was EyePower Games NewsMaker for Windows and Mac OS. Unfortunately, the software is now discontinued abandonware. This creates a significant problem for users who discover old .NMP files and want to watch their childhood projects. The biggest limitation of the .NMP format is that it is not an actual video file. Instead, it is saved in a plain text XML format that only contains a list of references to external news story files (STY extension) and the raw webcam video clips stored locally on the computer.
Because of this structure, standard media converters cannot convert an .NMP file directly into an MP4 or AVI video. If you do not have the original video files saved in the exact same folder paths, the video cannot be rendered. However, you can easily convert the .NMP file into text-based formats like XML, TXT, or PDF to recover the written scripts, project metadata, and file paths.
This file format is difficult to process because generic online converters assume it contains video data and fail when they encounter plain text. Often, only the original NewsMaker software can properly read and export the final compiled video. If our analysis detects the underlying XML structure, viewing or conversion to text may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NMP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our NMP converter.
