The easy workaround to get iMovie (10.1.4) work with some MP4 files is to convert MP4 to AIC codec, which iMovie works best with. Here is how.
iMovie only allows you to import the MP4 videos with codec that iMovie can recognize like MPEG-4 and H.264. Since MP4 is a container, not a codec. If the MP4 video is encoded with iMovie unsupported codec, we will fail to import this kind of MP4 into iMovie for editing. Don't worry. To get iMovie work with MP4 files, you'll need to convert MP4 to iMovie compatible formats.
