If you have an issue with importing the video file correctly, this may occur if the video is encoded with H.265 (HEVC) codec. 

This codec is not internally supported by Movavi programs and requires additional support from the OS side. You can read more detailed information about it in this article https://www.movavi.io/what-is-h265-en/.


To be sure, please check the codec information first:

  • open your original video file in the Movavi program to determine its codec 

  • click on 'File information' and check the original video resolution / codec.

  • if it shows H.265 or no codec at all for the video, it means that additional steps are required.


The solution can be following:

  1. You can send your videos to yourselves via Telegram or What's App. These messengers change codec of the videos automatically. After this, please, download videos again and try to add them to the app.


  1. You can use one of the free online video converters to change the codec. 


If you are using files from your phone, you can change the format of your future recordings.
