iMovie is a powerful and free video editing software for Mac and iOS users. How do I make music DRM protected in iMovie? Users can add video clips and photos as input, add subtitles and transitions, and add background music to iMovie to create movies or trailers on iMovie. However, if you successfully subscribe to the Apple Music Streaming service and download an Apple music song that needs to be used as iMovie background music, you will soon find that Apple Music files cannot be added to iMovie as background music, as Simon has encountered:
"When I try to add a song downloaded from Apple Music to my iMovie as background music, it shows that the song is not available. Why?"

Why You Can't Add DRM Music to iMovie?
Unlike iTunes M4A songs that can be easily added to iMovie, you may encounter problems with Apple Music files being unavailable, you should see "files are protected and unavailable" when you try to import Apple music songs into iMovie. You have subscribed to Apple Music and have downloaded some Apple Music tracks to your iTunes library, but you may know that all downloaded Apple music songs are in DRM-protected M4P format. Since Apple Music is an online streaming service with digital rights management protection, you can't directly add Apple music tracks to iMovie as BGM until DRM encryption is removed. To this end, we have found a great choice for Apple music users to add background audio to the iMovie project.
