Apr 11, 2012 I had the same question, but the audio I want to add is basically a voiceover of the presentation, not music or any old audio. It's me talking you through the presentation. So basically I need to create the presentation on my Mac, before I can use the audio file on the iPad. Which kind of defeats the object of having the app on my iPad. Apr 29, 2019 How to Add Music in iMovie on Mac. To add music, songs, or any audio content on Mac you need to open the iMovie browser. In the browser, you will have two options to import sound. Adding Audio Files from Existing Libraries. The first option is to add a sound that exists on your iTunes, GarageBand, or sounds from Sound Effects Library.
You can add any of the following types of background music to a movie project:
Soundtracks and theme music: iMovie comes with a collection of soundtracks that dynamically adjust to fit the length of your project. Soundtracks include the music from iMovie themes, which you can add separately from themes. Theme music works just like a soundtrack and is automatically adjusted to fit your project. For more information about themes, see Work with themes.
Music: You can add songs from Music that have been synced to your device using Music on your computer.
Imported: You can add songs that you created in GarageBand, Logic Pro X, or another app and imported into iMovie using iCloud Drive or Music on your computer. (To import background music from iCloud Drive, see “Add background music or other audio from iCloud Drive,” below.)
Background music clips are colored green in the timeline. If you add a song that’s less than 1 minute long, it behaves the same as a sound effect in the project and is colored blue in the timeline. See Add sound effects.

Tip: If you’re creating a music video and want to align video clips to specific points in the music, add background music to your project first. (If the music is shorter than 1 minute, you must add video to the project before you add the music.)
By default, iMovie automatically loops background music to fit the length of your movie. You can add multiple songs as background music, but iMovie automatically arranges them to play one song at a time. You can also manually adjust the length if you want.
Add background music or other audio from iCloud Drive
With your project open, scroll the timeline so that the playhead (the white vertical line) appears where you want to add the song or audio clip.
If the playhead is resting over an existing clip, the new clip is added either before or after the existing clip, whichever is closest to the playhead.
Tap Audio at the bottom of the media browser.
If the media browser is not visible, tap the Add Media button in the upper-right corner, then tap Audio at the bottom of the media browser.
Tap iCloud Drive in the list of categories.
In the iCloud pane, navigate to the folder containing the audio you want to use.
Tap the name of the song or audio clip you want to add, then tap the Add Audio button .
Note: Songs that appear dimmed or are marked Unavailable need to be downloaded to your device for use in iMovie. Use the Music app or iTunes to download songs from iCloud, or use the Finder or iTunes on your computer to sync songs from your music library. If a song on your device still appears unavailable, it may be of a type that can’t be used in iMovie. For example, songs protected by digital rights management can’t be used in iMovie.
