Convert Camera and iPhone videos to iMovie and iPhoto for creating family videos

This article recorded my own experience on how to creating video for family on iMovie an iPhoto with the help of Pavtube Video Converter for Mac.

As a retired grandmother, my only hobby is to create family videos with iMovie and iPhoto so that I could view my family holiday videos when they can not accompany me. However, it is a big trouble that the edit software like iMovie and iPhoto all have their own supported format that I could not load the videos recorded by camera and iPhone to them.

Fortunately, my grandson used google and looked for “DVD Creator/ Burner for Mavericks Mac”, and then he found a post Top AVI to DVD for Mac OSX Mavericks and find the software named Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac which I am using now. Expect this software; I also used Aimersoft for a while. I give it up for it crashed each time when I tried to upload a file. I really like the software I am using not only for its price, but also for its easy use of converting SD/HD video and audio format, compatible with my editing software, e.g. iMovie, iPhoto.

Next month will be my best friend’s birthday, and I am preparing to send an all-in-one Pavtube software iMedia Converter for Mac to her. She likes to make family videos as me and she was also a big movie fan with so much Blu-ray and DVD collections. I think this special present is pretty suitable for her to convert Blu-ray/DVD movies and other videos.

Now, I will show you how this video converter helps me to convert my camera and iPhone to the support format of iMovie and iPhoto.

First, just download the video converter to your computer. It also has Windows PC version. Then launch it and load the videos you want to convert to the program. I cut off a screenshot below to show you clearly.

Then choose the support format for iMovie. Click the “Format” bar, and choose “Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)” as the output format.

PS: Pavtube Video Converter for Mac also have the “Edit” function and it could allow me do some simply edit on my videos like trim, crop, add effect, etc.

The last step is hit the “Convert” button to start the conversion. The whole process is so easy that even you are not good at computer operating.

When the conversion is easy, just remember the output video location and load to my iMovie or iPhoto for further editing. With this software, it gives me much convenient to cresting family videos.
