Import 3GP files into iMovie '08 #

Attempting to import 3GP video clips into iMovie '08 via "File" > "Import Movies..." fails without any messages. Dragging a 3GP file onto an event in the Event Library fails with the following message:

Import File
The file will not be imported.
It is not compatible with iMovie.

The solution is simply to change the file extension from 3GP to MP4 and then import via either method.
