Putting Garageband Project into iMovie

Objective: Students will put completed Garageband Projects (film scores) onto their iMovie projects.


Step 1. Once your music project is completed in Garageband, click on Share and choose "Send Song to iTunes"

A window will pop up allowing you to change the artist name. If you haven't given your song a name when you created your project, it will be sent as "My Song."  You can rename the song once it goes to iTunes.

After the song is mixed together and converted to a music file, iTunes will open and your song will play.

2) Open iMovie. Click on the Music icon button at the bottom right, and choose iTunes. From here, scroll through your music until you find your song.

3) Drag and drop your song onto any clip in your project (you can push or pull it where you want once it's there). Be sure you drop it so that it becomes a LINEAR TRACK and not a background track. Background tracks give you far less creative flexibility when it comes to adjusting the music.

You're Done! Congrats!
