Can I add Tidal Music to Adobe Premiere Pro? The answer may disappoint you. Although Adobe Premiere Pro is a very commonly used video editor, it doesn't integrate with any streaming music service to access the online or offline streaming music resource directly. On the contrary, it only supports to upload the downloaded music which is stored in your local folder without protection.
But don't be upset. Today, I am going to help you solve this problem with a useful workaround, which enables you to import Tidal Music to Adobe Premiere Pro easily by using a helpful third-party tool.
Part 1. Import Tidal Music to Premiere Pro: Why You Need AudFree
From the very beginning, it is important to figure out why you can't add Tidal music to Adobe Premiere even you have downloaded those tracks for offline playing in the Tidal app. This is caused by the DRM in Tidal tracks, a music protector to encrypt Tidal music to prevent downloaders to transfer Tidal music to other platforms or devices. That is to say, the downloaded Tidal songs in the computer are not truly persevered in the local folder and they usually exist as cache data or encoded audio data.
In order to transfer those Tidal tracks to Adobe Premiere Pro, we need to break the DRM limitation from Tidal songs and then transfer them to common formats like MP3. That is why we need AudFree Tidal Music Converter to help us converting the DRM-ed Tidal streams to non-DRM formats such as MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, M4B AAC, etc. with keeping 100% original quality and 100% raw metadata, for examples, title, artist, album, and so on.
In addition, taking the most advanced technology, this intelligent tool can work at 5X super-fast converting speed, transferring at least 100 tracks to local DRM-free audio files at one time. With the assist of this smart, light and concise software, it is pretty easy and convenient for you to convert Tidal music as a local audio file and then add it to Adobe Premiere Pro in simple ways.
