I have many pleasure songs in the Spotify service. I'm about to use them as the background music for video projects in Video Pro X. But I don't know how to add them to Video Pro X. Is there any detailed tutorial for this question? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.
I'm not going to give you a method by which you can do this but what I am going to say is that, depending on what is the purpose and who is the intended audience for your video, what you are wanting to do is extremely likely to be illegal. Unless you have specific permission from at least the holders of the copyrights in all the original recordings and, possibly, also from Spotify, you cannot legally use these tracks in any video which is designed to be viewed by anyone other than yourself i.e. it is for "solely personal use" and even then, you might be liable for claims of breach of copyright!
Sorry to be so negative but what you are asking about has the potential to eventually mean you could be sued for copyright infringement!

Hello Jeff, thanks very much for your kind answer. Could I confirm again whether you mean that I also couldn't use some third-party tool for Spotify, like AudKit, Spotify Deezer Music Downloader to download Spotify music for adding them to Video Pro X for using as background music with my Spotify Premium account? If I get the premission from the singer, can I do that? Or I need to get permission from Spotify?
Hi Sophia.
If they are well known artists with contracts to record companies or similar you will have to deal with the companies themselves who will charge you for the use and these would be commercial fees that are not cheap. Even then you may find your channel will get copyright strikes and even have your channel removed or blocked. You really have to know what you are doing if dealing with copyright issues. It is best to look at all the rules and regulations of individual hosting sites before engaging in such activity. Even cover versions of famous songs are not free from this problem.

Understood well. Thanks very much for your answer! I will follow the rules!
