Decorative ButtonMedia Converters

Sometimes you will need to convert files so that you can view them in a media player or use them in a video editing program. For example, you can NOT import a .mov file (a Mac/iMovie format) into a PC editing program. iMovie will not import an .avi file, a common extension for Windows movies.  If you want to use the media, you will need to convert the file into a format that can be imported into your video editing program.  This can often be a problem with video footage taken using mobile devices.  For example, if an android phone is used to film media that will be used in a iMovie project or if the operating system on a mobile device is not compatible with a newer version of software.  

Below are a couple of video converters you can use online. You can perform a wider search on the web for additional resources.

File Types that can be Imported in iMovie:

  • .mp4
  • .mov
