Garageband To Imovie Mac
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.
When you import from GarageBand, instead of dropping the track onto iMovie's background area, drop it onto a frame of video. The track will then appear as a ribbon (narrow bar) below the video thumbnails. MacMost forum question: Can I edit iMovie audio in GarageBand?

Garageband For Mac Tutorial
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
- With your project open in the timeline, tap the Add Media button .
- 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.

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.
- With your project open, scroll the timeline so that the playhead (the white vertical line) appears where you want to add the sound effect.
- Tap the Add Media button , then tap Audio, then tap an option:
- Tap Sound Effect to browse the built-in sound effects.

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.
Add music and sound effects using the iMovie browser on Mac
You can browse and add content from your music library and built-in sound effects from within iMovie.
- With your project open, click Audio at the top of the window, then choose an option:
- To access your music library, click Music (or iTunes if you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier) in the Libraries list, then browse selections.*
- To access built-in sound effects like footsteps or rain, click Sound Effects in the Libraries list.
- 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.
- 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.
If you want to use a song you’ve created in GarageBand and access it from the iMovie browser, share your GarageBand project to the media browser in GarageBand.
