Have problem with importing MPG videos from your camera into iMovie for further editing? Or may you have some MPEG/MPG files stored on your Mac and want to use them on iMovie? Then you'd better convert your MPG files to iMovie accepted files at first (iMovie compatible file formats: DV, MOV, MP4, M4V and AVCHD etc.). If you temporarily have no idea about what to do, you can take the MPG to iMovie Mac conversion into consideration which is introduced in the following paragraphs. The conversion is darn easy to be finished with only three clicks without loss of video quality.
To do the MPG video to iMovie Mac task, you are highly recommended to ask a professional Video Converter for Mac to help. The one used in this article has preset for iMovie so that users can directly select it to get iMovie files. Here are the steps involving the Mac MPG to iMovie conversion:
Locate MPG files into the Mac application
You can directly drag & drop the MPG/MPEG files to the Mac program, or click the "Add Video Files" in the "File" menu to add the source MPG/MPEG files. The task is operated on Mac (Snow Leopard, Lion included).

Set iMovie as output format
The product has an optimized preset for iMovie, i.e., you can directly choose "iMovie" as your output format, which will automatically set the appropriate file format, bit rate, and resolution. You also can simply edit videos with some useful edit functions supplied before the Mac conversion. Details in the Guide of Video Converter for Mac.

Start MPG to iMovie conversion on Mac OS X
Tap the "Convert" button, and then leave the Mac Video Converter to do the rest. The converter also works on MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac. What's more, if you have something emergency and have to leave from your Mac, you can set the Mac converter to shut down your Mac automatically after the Mac MPG to iMovie conversion.
