Q: How do I get a song from Spotify to put on Movie Maker? I want one of the songs for my Windows Movie Maker but I do not know how. Can music from Spotify be imported to a video editor? Please help.
Q: Can you add music from Spotify to Windows Movie Maker?
Windows Movie Maker is a free video editor produced by Microsoft. It belongs to the Windows Essentials software suite. Windows Movie Maker is pretty similar to iMovie of Apple, which are both designed for basic editing. Everyone can use this video editor to make simple videos to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, or Flickr.
Windows Movie Maker empowers users by importing local music to videos and photo slideshows as background music. But for most people, local music is limited. An idea occurs to many of them: why not add Spotify music to Windows Movie Maker?
However, you cannot move any content from Spotify to other apps. So, you will always fail when you try to import Spotify songs to Windows Movie Maker or other video editors even if you are a premium user. The solution for this issue is indeed easy. See how to get Spotify music to Windows Movie Maker in the later parts.
