iMovie is great for creating cool movies with a number of superior editing tools. However, the movie maker app has only seven pre-defined music themes. Besides, all the available music themes are too short (less than one minute) to give your long videos the needed flair. But, worry not! There are a number of sites from where you can download and add royalty free music to iMovie on your iPhone and iPad.

Before you begin. Make sure that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is running iOS 10 or later and your. Apple Music is DRM protected. Apple Music is a streaming service. Not for personal use as in importing into and iMovie project. However, you can import purchased iTunes music into an iMovie project.

Once you have downloaded your favorite videos on your Mac or Windows PC, you can easily transfer them to your iOS device using iCloud Music Library or iCloud Drive. Let me show you how it works the right way!

You can add sounds to your iMovie project—in addition to or in place of the sound recorded with your video clips—to create a fun and professional finished video.

Add sound to an iMovie project on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can add a variety of audio files to your iMovie project:

• Built-in soundtrack music and sound effects included with iMovie.
• Songs you've downloaded to your device in the Music app.
• Your own custom songs created in an app like GarageBand or custom sound effects stored in iCloud Drive, on your device, or in another location.

And if you want to add voiceover narration, record it right into the timeline of your iMovie project.

Add songs to iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. With your project open in the timeline, tap the Add Media button .
2. Tap Audio, then tap an option:
   • To browse the built-in soundtracks, tap Soundtracks.
   • To browse songs you've downloaded to your device in the Music app, tap My Music.*
   • To browse songs stored in iCloud Drive or another location, tap My Music, then tap Files.
3. Tap a song to preview it. You might be prompted to download the song to your device before you can preview it.
4. To add the song to your project, tap the plus button next to a song. The song is added at the bottom of the project timeline, starting at the beginning of your project.
   

When you add a song, it automatically adjusts to fit the length of the project. You can change the length the song like you would any other clip. You can also use multiple songs in a project. For example, if you want to change the mood of the music over the course of your project, you can shorten the first song in the timeline, then place a different song after the first song.

If you add a song or other audio file that's less than 1 minute long, it behaves the same as a sound effect in the project.

Add a sound effect in iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

With a sound effect, when you move a video clip the sound effect below it moves with the video clip, unlike songs, which are independent of video clips.

1. With your project open, scroll the timeline so that the playhead (the white vertical line) appears where you want to add the sound effect.
2. Tap the Add Media button , then tap Audio, then tap an option:
   • Tap Sound Effect to browse the built-in sound effects.
   • Tap My Music to access sound effects in your music library
   • Tap Files to access songs stored in iCloud Drive or other locations.
3. Tap a sound effect to preview it.
4. To add a sound effect to your project, tap an effect's plus button .
   

Record voiceover in iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. With your project open, scroll the timeline so that the playhead (the white vertical line) appears over the location where you want to add your voiceover.
2. Tap the Voiceover button , then tap Record. Recording begins after a three-second countdown.
3. When you're finished, tap Stop, then tap one of these options:
   • To listen to the recording, tap Review.
   • To keep the recording and add it to your project, tap Accept.
   • To redo the recording, tap Retake.
   • To delete the recording and close the recording controls, tap Cancel.

Adjust the volume of a clip in iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

After you add sound to your iMovie project, you can adjust the volume of audio clips to get the sound mix just right. You can also adjust the volume of video clips that were recorded with sound.

To adjust the volume of an audio or video clip, tap the clip in the timeline, tap the Volume button at the bottom of the window, then adjust the slider to increase or decrease the volume. When you turn the volume of a clip all the way down, a Mute icon appears on the clip in the timeline.

You can also make other adjustments, such as fading the volume of the clip or changing its speed. Learn how on iPhone and iPod touch, or learn how on iPad.

Add sound to an iMovie for Mac project

In iMovie for Mac, you can drag audio files right into your timeline from the Finder. You can also use songs or other audio files from your music library and other locations using the media browser within iMovie. And if you want to add voiceover narration, record it right into the timeline of your iMovie project.

Drag audio files into the iMovie project timeline on Mac

You can drag audio files like .mp4, .mp3, .wav, and .aif files from the Finder and the Desktop right into the timeline of your iMovie project. Audio files dragged into the timeline behave differently depending on where you drag them:

• If you want an audio file to stay with a particular video clip even if you move the video clip, drag the audio file just below the video clip so a bar connecting the clips appears. Use this to add sound effects or voiceover audio that you want to connect to a specific video clip in your project, no matter where the clip is in the timeline.
  

• If you drag an audio file to the music well, indicated by the musical note icon in the timeline, the audio clip won't move if you move any video clips in the timeline. Use this to add background or theme music that plays throughout the entire project.

2. To preview a song or sound effect before you add it to the timeline, click the play button next to each song or sound effect. You can also select a song or sound effect, click in the waveform at the top of the media browser, then press the Spacebar to preview.
3. When you've found the song or sound effect you like, drag it from the media browser to the timeline:
   • For background or theme music for your movie, drag songs to the music well.
   • To attach music or sound effects to a specific video clip, drag it under the video clip so a bar connecting the clips appears.
