How do I convert camera AVI files to use in iMovie?

I recorded video clips on my Pentax Optio camera and it will play when dragged into VLC player, but I cannot drag it into iMovie for editing. Any suggestions?

Export to DV Stream and then use the .dv file with any version of iMovie.

  • How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

    Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

    How do I convert an MP3 file to use it as a ringtone on my iPhone 3G?

    Everybody's wrong wrong wrong. You don't need garageband. Select the song, go to info. You need to select a start and stop time for the song that can't be any longer than 40 seconds in length. Then in advanced mode you convert the song to acc. once done locate the file on the computer. it should end in .m4a . Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
    That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

    Thank you. Do I need to convert my AVI file and what is the

    You should convert the media to QuickTime. Without knowing any specifics most likely the simplest way is to use MPEG Streamclip.

  • How do I convert an .avi file when the codec is CLLC

    I've been sent a file .avi to convert for a digital display. We do this often and have had no problem, however the codec is CLLC? I've never heard of it and FCP won't read it, nor will VLC or QT.
    They compressed using Edius.
    I've tried all sorts of programs, the preview comes up with a blank screen and tells me its an audio file.
    Does anyone know how to convert the CLLC file.
    Thanks

    Tell "they" to provide the clip in an edit-friendly QuickTime codec.

  • How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

    I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
    *The file:*
    *Retains sound, builds and movement.*
    *Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
    I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
    There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...

  • Converting .AVI files to use in iMovie using Quicktime Pro

    Hi, does anyone know if the current version of Quicktime Pro converts .AVI movie clips into a format that can be used and spliced together in iMovie? If so, is both the sound and video maintained to the same quality?
    Finally, if the answers to the above are a "yes", is the same true for iMovie 07 and 08?
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    http://perian.org will help QuickTime Pro open nearly any AVI.
    You can do basic editing with Pro and then export to DV Stream to use in iMovie 6 or 7.

  • How do I convert Word 2004 files for use with Mavericks?

    I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and now find that my old Word files (2004) can't be opened. (I can still open my Word 2008 files.) I have been a maths teacher for decades and have many old files which are still very useful but they contain more than just text; they contain diagrams, MathType expressions etc. etc. I need to be able to convert these files to files that can be opened with Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

    Office 2008 should function in Mavericks and it willl open Office 2004 files:

    Hence, you do not need to partition and install Snow Leopard into a new partition.  I gave you my previous advice before you indicated you are now using Office 2008.

  • How do I batch convert separate avi files in Premiere Elements 11 to separate mp4 files

    How do I batch convert separate avi files to separate mp4 files

    For batch conversions, I use DigitalMedia Converter by Deskshare. My version is an older one (2.7), and there is a newer version, in two flavors, "regular" and "pro." I do not recall what limit on number of files is, but have had about 10 in the conversion queue. The newer version, and especially the Pro version, has probably expanded the number of files in the queue, but I could not quickly find what that max number is. While not opensource freeware, my copy was only about US$40. I was so impressed, that I bought two licenses - one for each of my editing computers. I have been meaning to upgrade to the new Pro version, but as old 2.7 works for what I need to do, just have not gotten around to it.
    Now, Premiere Pro can do batch conversions too, through the AME (Adobe Media Encoder), but that would be a much, much more expensive solution.
    I am certain that there are other conversion programs (some might also be free), that can do batch conversions, and with the H.264 CODEC for your MP4 output.
    One caveat: if your AVI files are SD (Standard Def), you will NOT be pleased if you convert to MP4 in HD (High Def), as there will be up-rezzing, and the results will not be pretty. If you need to up-rez to HD, when using SD material, you might want to look into something like Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD. Many users have been impressed by its up-rezzing capabilities, though some have not.
    Also, I think that Corel's video editor has an up-rezzing capability, but have never used it, so cannot comment directly - might be great, or not so great.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
