"I created an animation using Anime Studio 8, and when I exported my videos to my portable disk drive, I saved them as a flash video (.swf). I am trying to import them to iMovie on my Macbook but it will not let me. What should i convert my animations to, to import them onto iMovie? Also, are there any converter websites you would recommend? Thank you."

Answer from Web:
iMovie supports video in MOV, MPEG-2, MP4, DV etc video formats, so SWF files can`t be imported to iMovie natively. You can convert the SWF files to MP4 or MOV etc first.
But How to Convert the SWF to iMovie Supported formats? Here I'd like to recommend SWF to iMovie Converter to you.
SWF to iMovie Video Converter can help you convert Flash Games, SWF Animation and Flash video (.swf) to MP4, MOV, DV, MPEG-2 etc iMovie supported formats and import the converted SWF movie to iMovie 11, 09, 08 for editing on Mac os x (10.5-10.7 Lion).
Surely, you can download Flash SWF files from Web with SWF to iMovie software.
PS: If you want to convert SWF video to Windows Movie Maker for editing, you can use SWF Video Converter.
