Part 1. Can You Add Tidal Music to Videos
Officially, you can not add music from Tidal to video. Why? That is because streaming music services, including Tidal, limit music playback to their own app and authorized devices. Besides, Tidal tracks are encrypted cache files, not standard local files. Moreover, Tidal doesn't cooperate with any video editing software. This means you can't directly use Tidal music in video editors as BGM directly or other apps.
However, there are still workarounds. There are some tools that can give you a hand. With them, you can convert Tidal tracks to common formats like MP3 and save them as local files. If your video editing app supports importing local audio, it is easy to add music to videos from Tidal. Please see more details in the next part.
