Q: When I import an AVI clip from the library into my video editing software, it doesn't accept the format. What should I do? Most video editing software will read an AVI file, but if yours does not (e.g. Sony Vegas), you should import the Quicktime format of the clip from the Public Library. Right-click on the .mov link and choose "Save target as" in your browser to save the clip to your local computer for subsequent editing.
