How do you import music in Final Cut Express 4?

When you add it, can’t you just drag the file from the finder to where you want it in the project? I believe the “import” command is for movie files.

Are you making sure to open up the file type to “All Files” in the Import Files box?

Yeah, I checked all files, then selected and .m4a song and then pressed ‘import’. but then a popup came up that said “File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. I just did a “file” “import” so i don’t know if there is a different way to get it in there.

Final Cut doesnt like .m4a, regardless if you check ‘all files’.

Convert it to .mp3 and you’ll be good to go.

heres a good audio converter if you dont have one, its free too.
