How to Add Apple Music to Premiere Pro

Part 1. How to Use Apple Music in Premiere Pro

Integrating Apple Music into Premiere Pro requires careful consideration of Digital Rights Management (DRM). Apple Music and iTunes tracks are often protected by DRM, which limits their usage to within the Apple ecosystem. This DRM protection imposes restrictions on where and how the audio files can be used. For instance, music tracks downloaded from Apple Music are typically in the M4P format, specifically designed for use within Apple's platforms.

To successfully use Apple Music in Premiere Pro, you'll need to ensure that the music is in a compatible file format that Premiere Pro can recognize. Premiere Pro supports a variety of audio formats for seamless integration into your video projects. Compatible formats include 3GP, 3G2 (.3gp), AAC (unprotected files), AIFF, ASND, OMF, BWF, M4A, MP3, and WAV. However, since Apple Music tracks are often DRM protected and in the M4P format, they require conversion for use in Premiere Pro.

If you only need a selection of songs for your Premiere Pro project, an alternative is to purchase them directly from the iTunes Store. Purchased songs are typically in the AAC format and are DRM-free. This means they are immediately compatible with Premiere Pro.

If you have songs from Apple Music that are in the M4P (DRM protected) format, or if you want to convert your entire library for use in Premiere Pro, you can use the ViWizard Apple Music Converter. This tool allows you to convert your Apple Music or iTunes library into compatible audio formats recognized by Premiere Pro.
