How to import avi. format
I have some video clips in avi. format. When I try to import them into iMovie they are greyed out and will not import. Is there a way to import them?

Yes, you can import them but first you need to convert them.
Use the free download Handbrake to convert the clips to H.264, Mp4/AAC.
You can get Handbrake here:
A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
