I am trying to add my own music to my iMovie video. Do I have to specifically use Apple Music, or am I able to use music off of Youtube? And how do I put my own music onto iMovie?

I would like to add my own music to my iMovie video, but I don't know how to do it. Am I able to use music off of Youtube or do I have to have Apple Music? I need to be done with the video before this Saturday. So any advice before that would be very appreciated.

Apple Music is a subscription service. All of its songs are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected and cannot be used in iMovie. Otherwise you can use any sound clip from You Tube or elsewhere that is not copyright protected. You can also use iTunes music purchased after year 2009, and GarageBand music, as well as the free sound effects and jingles provided with the iMovie app.
