Exporting movies into iMovie
So, I have a hand held video recorder and took several videos, imported them from the camera SD card into Photos. I now want to tweek those videos using iMovie but:
1. I cannot find the videos in Finder
2. I cannot export the videos from Photos to my desktop - I get an error message saying it could not convert .AVI
3. I cannot drag and drop from Photos to iMovie
4. I cannot open the movies in any other player app like VLC or iTunes
What do I do?
MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
