Importing AVI files, 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 files to iMovie:

Q: I imported an AVI video file, and it goes through the copying process, but nothing showed up on screen.

Q: AVI files played just fine in QuickTime, but they grey out in the import window, so I couldnt import to iMovie.

Q: I import my AVI video clips to iMovie, when play these AVI files in iMovie, theres only image no sound.

Q: My AVI files play smoothly in QuickTime, but in iMovie, I get audio with no picture.

The Heart of the Problem:

iMovie only read AVI files 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, its 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 files in QuickTime. One easy option would be to convert the AVI files to an iMovie compatible format prior to import.
