A lot of people love to watch their favorite movies, TV series, or clips while they are on the move. For an iOS device user, this feeling of joy could be a little hard to achieve owing to the compatibility issues that iOS devices have with most AVI file formats. It is known for a fact that iOS devices only support AVI file formats like MP4, M4V, and MOV. So what does one need to do to get one's favorite clips working on their iPhone or iPad? One viable and effective solution of all times is to convert their video clips to suitable formats.

How to Import AVI to iMovie on Mac

It is one of the productive applications present in the market that provide optimum conversion of videos to various file formats such as the most common of all, MP4, WMV, DIVX, etc.

The following is the guide for converting AVI to a suitable iOS compatible format using Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate).

Step 1 After downloading and installing Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate), launch the application from your desktop and wait for any due updates to be installed to make sure the software runs efficiently without any bugs and lags.

Step 2 After the application is successfully initiated, click the add files icon in Wondershare UniConverter button present in the middle of the application window and browse for your desired movie or video clip and select it.

How to import AVI to iMovie

Step 4 Once you have selected the suitable file format, hit Convert at the lower right corner, and patiently wait for the video to be converted.

Note: If users are using the trial version of Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate), only 1/3rd of the length of the video will be converted. Full-length conversions are only available in the paid version.

When the conversion completes, you will be notified shortly as soon as your video file gets converted. You can either wirelessly transfer the converted file to your device or use the default USB cable available with your device. Now just enjoy your video clip on your handset.

Why AVI Cannot be Imported to iMovie (Optional)

iMovie only supports a limited number of file codecs such as MP4 and MOV. Too many, AVI is considered as a solo file format but in reality, it is just a file container and what actually matters is what type of video and/or audio codec was used to create it.

Generally, an AVI file would only play properly in the iMovie when both the video and audio format of the file is supported and read by the iMovie itself. If the video format of the AVI file is compatible with iMovie and the audio is not, then the AVI file is due to not being properly read by the application and even fails to play it even if the file is read.
