Although Avid official website announced that Avid Media Composer can support and edit AVI videos smoothly, a lot of users still met the importing and editing problem while trying to load AVI videos to Avid.
"Pretty much anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to import an AVI file into Avid Media Composer Thanks!
"Importing video clips AVI to Avid Media Composer. Once the clip is imported and dragged to the source monitor it cannot be view only white display is visible...Grateful if someone could help to overcome this problem..."
The reason you cannot ingest and open AVI files in Avid Media Composer is simple: file format, but unlike other formats like MP3 or JPEG, AVI is a container format, meaning it can contain video audio compressed using many different combinations of codecs. Some codecs are not compatible with Avid, so you will encounter problems when importing AVI to Avid Media Composer.
