Final Cut Pro is a powerful video editing software developed by Apple. It supports editing background audio by using built-in tools and dozens of bundled plug-ins, which are the very important parts of processing a professional video. However, the audio, from mainstream music platforms like Spotify, cannot be freely added to Final Cut Pro due to its restriction. So the question is how can we add Spotify music to Final Cut Pro as background audio without limitation?
