This article shows how to add Amazon Music songs to Apple iMovie on macOS 10.14 to 13 Ventura.
One of the best video editing software included in Apple devices must be iMovie. When creating a project, editing clips, adding effects or music, iMovie always provides excellent movie making tools that meet demand. It's a free and intuitive video maker for Mac users, and the latest version requires OS X 10.14.6 or later.
To make a better video, you'll need to add some background music into your video to heighten atmosphere. But in reality, it's not that straightforward -- only audio files stored on your device are available to be imported to iMovie. That means, music from streaming platforms, like Amazon Music, are not permitted.
