Hi All,
I have just today began using iMovie for the first time to try and help a colleague with a small bit of video editing.
The file type which she has saved on her camera is .MPG. Being a newbie I didn't realise that this file type was not supported (according to research on the internet) so I used Handbrake to convert the file type. I used the preset function in Handbrake to convert to 'Apple Universal' which turned out to be .MP4.
So when I copied the files back to my Mac (converted on Dell as Mac has no internet access at work) they still appeared greyed out. I reconverted the file to .MKV and still appeared greyed out when I copied back...
Am I missing something with the conversion, file types to be used or am I just being a complete numpty??
Many Thanks
