import AVI to iMovie
iMovie does have its good points. Most important, it's easy to use. Editing is a simple matter of dragging and dropping clips from your video library, a feature implementation similar to iPhoto. Literally anyone could use this new genre of video editing program to create decent small format, short film clips.

You may wish to import your AVI's from your video camera like Canon Powershot, Samsung, RCA, Panasonic, Flip Mino etc. directly into iMovie, to edit and creates a new video clip, but it often fails due to codec problem(e.g.Canon uses a proprietary codec for its .avi files). Now, just forget it, you can convert AVI to some format compatible with iMovie using the AVI to iMovie Converter software.
