Cannot open any file in Audacity [SOLVED]

I think I was having the same problem but I found that it is apparently because I was trying to open the file from the iPhoto library (as the video was from my iPhone and I imported into iPhoto)

I exported the file from iPhoto and it is working now.

Thanks. Please also see Audacity 2.1.0: FFmpeg required for MP4/M4A/MOV/ALAC import. If you already have FFmpeg installed, files may not necessarily drag in to Audacity but you should be able to use File > Import > Audio… or File > Open… .
