Importing AVI, either from Sony digital camera, Flip video camera, or other sources, to iMovie can be a painful experience for many Mac users.
Common problems of importing AVI to iMovie:
- Q: I imported an AVI video file, and it goes through the copying process, but nothing showed up on screen.
- Q: AVI played just fine in QuickTime, but they "grey out" in the import window, so I couldn't import to iMovie.
- Q: I import my AVI video clips to iMovie, when play these AVI in iMovie, there's only image no sound.
- Q: My AVI play smoothly in QuickTime, but in iMovie, I get audio with no picture.
The Heart of the Problem:
iMovie only read AVI that both the audio and the video were compressed using a codec that iMovie can use. If iMovie can' t recognize your AVI video files, it's because the codec used to create the AVI file is not supported by iMovie, even if you have Perian installed, which only allows you to play AVI in QuickTime. One easy option would be to convert the AVI to an iMovie compatible format prior to import.
