iPhoto slideshow that uses registered music

Question

iPhoto slideshow that uses registered music

I have created a slideshow on iPhoto, I was allowed to utilize the music i have stored in my iTunes library. When i went to export the slide show, I was told that I could export just the photos and the music that isn't registered to an actual artist. My question is:

Is there a way to export the iPhoto slideshow including the registered music?

If so, how?

I imported the slideshow to iMovie instead, but can't seem to insert the music I had from the original slideshow. How do I do that in iMovie?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Can you give us the exact error message you get. I've never seen that one before.

What kind of song are you using?

If your song has been bought from the iTunes Store and is in the older "Protected AAC audio file" format you cannot use the file to render a video or bounce a new song with GarageBand, because that would remove the protection.

Check the "kind" in iTunes in the "Info" panel for the song, in the "File" tab.

If you have backed up your songs to CD by burning a playlist to CD, try if the backed up CD versions of your songs can be used. Sometimes that works.
