"I've subscribed to YouTube Music, so I could download songs for offline playback, But can I import the downloaded YouTube Music to iMovie project?"
Adding music to your iMovie project can add a touch of professionalism and help set the tone of your video. There are two ways to add background music (BGM) to your iMovie project. The first way is to add it from library on the Music app. The second one is by clicking "Add Media > Files" to browse M4A, MP4, MP3, WAV, and AIFF files stored on your device. If you can't find a particular song you want to use, your audio file may be protected and unavailable to import.
While it's a fairly simple process to upload music to iMovie, you may find it more difficult to import YouTube Music to your iMovie project.
