Part 1. Can You Directly Use Amazon Music in iMovie
A unified answer to this question is "No, you can't". As we all know, Amazon Music encodes all its content with digitally copyrighted FLAC format, which protects Amazon Music works from being used outside the Amazon Music app. So, it is possible to get Amazon Music on iMovie unless you can do something to remove copy limits from Amazon Music. The restrictions applies not only to free Amazon Music users but also premium subscribers.
Except for Amazon Music's own limitations, the incompatibility between iMovie and FLAC format also leads you not to add Amazon Music to iMovie. iMovie officially supported audio formats includes AAC, AIFF, BWF, WAV, MP3, CAF, and RF64. The audio files encoded in protected FLAC format fail to get support from iMovie. Only when you convert Amazon Music to iMovie-supported formats can you use Amazon Music tracks on iMovie.
