How to Add Music to Clips from Apple Music on iPhone/iPad

Part 1. What Do You Need to Add Apple Music to Clips

Why Can't I Add My Apple Music to Clips

Background music plays a crucial role in enhancing a video's emotional impact and overall effectiveness. While Clips offers a selection of built-in soundtracks, its library can feel somewhat limited. Fortunately, it allows users to import local audio files in formats like M4A, AIFF, AIF, WAV, and WAVE, giving you more creative freedom.

However, if you're hoping to use songs from Apple Music, there's a catch. As a streaming service, Apple Music protects its tracks with Digital Rights Management (DRM), which restricts how and where the music can be used. Additionally, Apple Music songs are typically encoded in M4P format, which is not supported by Clips. Because of these limitations, you can’t directly add Apple Music tracks to your Clips videos.

Tool Required to Add Music to Apple Clips

To get rid of Apple Music restrictions and convert Apple Music to Clips-supported audio files, you can draw support from the DRmare Apple Music Converter. It is powerful to remove protection from Apple Music songs and convert them to AIFF, FLAC, WAV, MP3, and other plain audio formats for use on Clips and other video editing software.

Additionally, you can preserve the original quality of Apple Music files during the process. All ID3 tags, including song title, artist, album, and artwork, will be fully retained. Plus, you have the flexibility to customize settings such as sample rate, audio channels, and more to fine-tune your tracks. With these features, you can seamlessly integrate your favorite Apple Music songs into your Apple Clips videos, enhancing your videos with high-quality, personalized sound.
