• get mpeg streamclip.
• open .avi file in mpeg streamclip.
  ​
• go file > export quicktime (cmd+e).
  ​
• select "apple intermediate codec" under compression.
  ​
• leave sound @ uncompressed , uncheck interlaced scaling, footage progressive.
  ​

if have several video files, can use mpeg streamclip's batch list:

​

.mov files use apple intermediate codec, codec imovie understands , uses , doesn't need transcode anymore.
