Just installed Movie Studio Platinum 13, but when you import AVI to Sony Movie Studio, you found the Movie Studio 12 will not load .avi files or have audio codec/problems for .AVI file in Movie Studio 13 . It just gives me a red cancel/cross icon on my cursor without any error messages at all. What to do? How to solve the AVI files to Sony Movie Studio importing issues?

In order to edit my AVI clips in Sony Movie Studio smoothly, I have googled the problem and found 2 solutions. One is to install some formats like k-lite, but there are so many people stating how it can cause more problems than it solves. So I passed it.

The second is to convert AVI into another format that Sony Movie Studio can handle. The basic reason is that AVI is actually a container for many possible video codecs. There are a lot of exotic video codecs in use and Sony Movie Studio cannot decode them all. The two biggest culprits are DivX and Xvid- Sony Movie Studio can't read them. I've tried the way, it works although it takes a little time for conversion.

To encode AVI to Sony Movie Studio, you can get help from Brorsoft Video Converter. The program is an easy-to-use AVI converter for you, which can help you change AVI(DivX/XviD) into a different format like MPEG-2 with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into Movie Studio with smooth editing without any trouble. It will ensure a perfect AVI file importing, playing and editing workflow with Sony Movie Studio 10/11/12/13.
