Convert mkv files and import them into imovie I'm using iMovie 10. I'm not willing to upgrade to iMovie 11 because that requires os 10.15 and if I upgrade to os 10.15 some of my apps will cease to work. In any case, I have some mkv files. When I convert them into any format compatible with iMovie I run into problem. I'm converting them using Python which uses the module ffmpeg. I'm not willing to buy some 3rd party app that converts the mkv files because they cost money and ffmpeg should be able to do everything I need to do. When I convert the files to mp4 the files work fine with VLC player but after importing them to iMovie there is no video. When I convert the files into .avi or .mov the audio is missing. The solution provided here does not work, namely, just changing the extension of the file. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2282019?login=true

How to change the setting on iMovie to produce the final video to an MP4 format? I am having problems with the finished product of iMovie on my mac desktop. it comes out in a mov. format or QuickTime movie. Using iMovie on my MacBook pro, the same video comes out as a mp4 format orMPEG-4 movie. The problem is I run the finished product through my Movavi Video suite 16 program on another computer ( an HP) to make a separate audio file and video file which I then upload to 4 different on line sites. I cannot use the mov. format with Movavi. Is there a way to change the setting on iMovie to produce the final video to an mp4 format? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Neither Quicktime Player nor iMovie support .mkv files. You can use a video converter like the free download Handbrake to convert to H.264 Mp4. You can get Handbrake here:

I am not familiar with working on dual audio channels on .mkv video files, so regrettably can't be of any help there.
