Using iTunes Songs in video

[eddy-4]

Hello!

I am working on a slideshow for my daughter's graduation party and wanted to replace the soundtrack with songs that I have purchased through iTunes (this presentation is strictly for personal use). When I try to replace soundtrack with the song I want, I get an error that the soundtrack (song) is missing even though it is has been downloaded to my ipad. Will Clip only allow you to use royalty free music?

Thanks much for your help.

Hi Linda,

We see this come up from time to time but it's very unreliable. Please try these steps to resolve the issue.

1. Sign out Clip and quit the app

2. Launch Clip and create a new Adobe ID from the Welcome Screen

3. Within the new account, create a new project and attempt to add a song from your iTunes library – If a song is added successfully, sign out of the current account and sign back into Clip with your primary Adobe ID and attempt to add a song from your iTunes library.

Sorry for the long workaround but this usually clears things up.

Best,

Peter Garaway

Just a curious question. Did you happen to add the song to your iTunes library AFTER you started your project in Adobe Premiere Clip? Or was the song already in your iTunes library before you created the project?

I added the song to my library after I started the project.

Interesting. I've had that happen to. That when I add a song to iTunes after I start a project it won't work. My fix was to just start a new project and redo it and after that I could import the song.
