1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
There are a few different methods you can use to add your own personal movie files to iTunes:
2. Click on the "File" menu and select "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder to Library" (depending on whether you want to add a single movie or a folder containing multiple movies).
3. Navigate to the location where your movie files are stored and select the file(s) you want to add.
4. Click "Open" to add the selected movie(s) to your iTunes library.
5. Your movies will now appear in the "Movies" section of your iTunes library.


Note: Make sure that your movie files are in a compatible format that iTunes can read, such as MP4, M4V, or MOV. If your movies are not in a compatible format, you may need to use a third-party software to convert them before adding them to iTunes.
=== Method 1: Drag and Drop ===
 
1. Open iTunes on your computer.
2. Locate the movie file(s) you want to add on your computer.
3. Simply drag and drop the movie file(s) into the iTunes window4<ref name="ref7">7</ref>.

4. Select the file(s)/folder and click "Open".
5. iTunes will import the selected movies into your library.

3. Copy or move your movie files into this folder[15].
4. iTunes will automatically detect and add these files to your library.
 
== Important Notes: ==
 
- iTunes supports MP4 video files. Other formats may need to be converted first4<ref name="ref7">7</ref>.
- Imported personal movies typically appear in the "Home Videos" section of iTunes[17].
- Make sure your movie files are not copy-protected or encrypted, as iTunes cannot import these[3].
- You can set iTunes to copy files to its own media folder when importing by enabling this option in Preferences > Advanced[10].

If you're having trouble adding movies:
 
1. Ensure the file format is compatible (MP4 is best).
2. Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
3. Verify that the files are not corrupted or copy-protected.
4. Try restarting iTunes and your computer.
