How to add music to an iMovie
Adding music to your iMovie can really enhance your project and add another level of professionalism. There are a few different ways that you can add music to your iMovie. You can either add music from your iTunes library, use Garageband to create custom music, or use one of the many royalty free music sites on the internet.
One of the easiest ways to add music to your iMovie is to use the built in iTunes library. To do this, simply open up iTunes and find the song that you want to use in your movie. Once you have found the song, drag it over into your iMovie project. You can also add sound effects from iTunes in the same way. If you want to use Garageband to create custom music for your movie, simply open up Garageband and create a new project. After you have created your project, go ahead and export it as an MP3 file. Once you have exported it as an MP3 file, you can then drag it into your iMovie project just like you would with any other song.
There are also a number of royalty free music sites on the internet that you can use to find music for your movie. A simple Google search will reveal many different options for sites that offer royalty free music. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of each site before using any of their songs in order to avoid any copyright issues down the road.
How to find music for your iMovie
iMovie is a great way to create and edit your own movies, but one of the most important aspects of any movie is the soundtrack. Luckily, there are a few different ways to find music for your iMovie project.
One option is to use iTunes. You can either use existing tracks that you have in your iTunes library, or you can purchase new tracks from the iTunes Store. If you want to use tracks from your iTunes library, simply drag and drop them into your iMovie project. If you want to purchase new tracks, click on the “iTunes Store” button in iMovie and browse the selection of songs.
Another option is to use the built-in GarageBand app on your Mac. This app allows you to create your own custom tracks, or you can use pre-made loops that come with the app. To add a track from GarageBand to your iMovie project, simply drag and drop it into the timeline.
Finally, you can also find royalty-free music online. There are a number of websites that offer free or low-cost music clips that you can use in your projects. Be sure to read the licensing agreement before using any of these tracks, as some may require attribution or have other restrictions.

How to add narration to your iMovie
Before you start recording your voice-over, it’s a good idea to practice reading the script aloud a few times. This will help you get comfortable with the material and get a feel for how long it will take to recite the entire narration.
When you’re ready to record, open iMovie and select the project you want to add narration to. Click the Import Media button in the upper-left corner of the iMovie window, then select Import from Camera or Import from File from the pop-up menu.

Now click the Record Voice-Over button in the toolbar and start speaking into your microphone when prompted. When you’re finished recording, click Stop Recording in the toolbar.
How to use iMovie themes
iMovie themes help you create professional-looking movies without having to be a professional editor. Themes include matching transitions, titles, and music, and they can be a great way to give your movie a unique look.

There are two ways to use iMovie themes:
– Choose a theme when you first create your movie project.
– Apply a theme after you’ve already started working on your project.
