Load Panasonic Lumix camcorder video clip to Windows Movie Maker

I have filmed a video on my Panasonic Lumix digital camera and it won't let me import it to Windows Movie Maker. I think it’s because the video always goes to the format of VLC media player. Is there any way I can import it to Movie Maker?

That’s because Movie Maker is limited on the file types it can deal with. It mainly supports AVI, WMV video format, Panasonic Lumix camcorder records AVCHD video clip which is not compatible with Movie Maker. You’re going to need a good video conversion program to convert your videos into a format that can be used with Movie Maker, such as MPG, AVI or WMV format.

Copy the video files to the computer; use a transcoder like Lumix AVCHD to Windows Movie Maker converter to convert the video files to AVI, WMV. Then bring the converted files into Movie Maker for editing.

AVCHD to Windows Movie Maker converter won’t reduce the quality which allows you to do some settings to keep original quality such as customize the Bitrates, Frame Rate, Encoder, and Resolution, and you can trim, clip, crop, edit Panasonic Lumix camcorder video.
