You can import audio into Clips by sending it from another device, like a Mac, to your iPhone or iPad using AirDrop and then selecting it within the Clips app.
Importing audio allows you to enhance your Clips videos with custom soundtracks, voiceovers, or sound effects originating from sources outside the Clips app itself. Based on the provided reference, a direct method involves using Apple's AirDrop feature to transfer audio files from a Mac to your iOS or iPadOS device where Clips is installed.
Here is a breakdown of the process, as described in the reference:
Steps to Import Audio via AirDrop
To bring audio from a Mac into your Clips project on an iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
- Open the Source App: On your Mac, launch the application that contains the audio file you wish to use.
- Initiate Sharing: Locate the audio within the app and choose the Share option, often represented by the
icon.
- Select AirDrop: From the sharing options presented, select AirDrop.
- Choose Destination Device: Click Share again, then click on the name of your iPhone or iPad device listed under the AirDrop section. The audio will be sent to your device.
- Open in Clips: On your iPhone or iPad, a prompt will appear. Tap Clips to open the received audio directly within the app.
- Add to Video: In the Clips app, tap the video project where you want to incorporate the received audio.
- Confirm: Tap Done to finalize adding the audio to your selected video clip.
Following these steps will integrate the audio file that was sent from your Mac into your chosen video segment within the Clips app, allowing you to edit and include it in your final project.
This method is particularly useful for bringing pre-recorded music, narrated voice tracks, or specific sound effects from your computer-based audio library into your mobile video creations.
