Velemoochi

YouTube provides us with thousands of interesting and funny videos. You might have downloaded some YouTube videos and want to import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing, but only find that it is impossible to do that.

"I own many interesting YouTube videos and have tried to import them into iMovie for editing but unfortunately they are all grayed out. I just want to edit those YouTube videos with iMovie for sharing with my friends. I have iMovie 11. Thanks in advance."

It is important to note that most of these problems can be caused for the most part by the fact that YouTube videos are often in FLV format and hence cannot be edited in iMovie. Apple’s iMovie doesn’t recognize FLV formats. This doesn’t however mean that you cannot edit your YouTube video in iMovie.

Video formats accepted by iMovie include MPEG-2 and AVCHD, DV-Standard and HDV (High Definition Video), QuickTime Movie, MEPG-4.
