![]() I unwittingly used iMovie HD (I believe v.5) and the accompanying iDVD apps I bought off eBay, just to have something to record and edit videos with. OK, so I’m not sure if I can explain this well-enough, but here goes… Whew! I want to THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Robert! I had Maverick 10.9!… I was devastated! How was I going to work on my many videos? I spoke with an iApps specialist at Apple Support who walked me through an ‘erase and reinstall’ of my previous Snow Leopard operating system 10.6…and my computer accepted your downloaded iMovie. Apple Support told me that after version 10.7, iMovie is no longer compatible. But I was most upset by having lost my beloved iMovie HD (which 6 years ago I had Apple Support send me to replace the then current version of iMovie on my new computer.) I thought I had hit the motherlode when I discovered iMovie HD on your site…but it was not compatible with Maverick. ![]() ($250) I also lost valuable software that I discovered Maverick would no longer support…which meant purchasing new!…such as Final Cut Pro. The Apple store did an ‘erase and reinstall’ and replaced my defunct Snow Leopard operating system with the latest called Maverick. Last week, my computer crashed and burned with all my data and software. Thank you so much for providing this invaluable service. :: Update – 4/20/20 – moved this link to a more permanent location :: (I updated the iMovie HD app to include the modified version string discussed in the other post. In the disk image is the “iMovie HD.app” application which you’ll drag to your /Applications folder and an “iMovie” folder which you’ll drag to your /Library/Application Support folder. Of course you’re trusting that I haven’t embedded some kind of nasty malware or anything, which I haven’t. Realizing, but not admitting, how much people hated the new iMovie, there was a period when Apple would let you download the previous and now-abandoned iMovie HD, but it is no longer available from Apple, even on their Old Software List, so until I’m given a Take Down notice, I’m putting iMovie HD up for grabs here. The later versions became more of a video manager (and not a good one), and a very rudimentary editor (and not a good one). At least that’s my opinion, and it’s shared by a few others. The last good version of Apple’s iMovie was version 6, later called iMovie HD. Of course, iMovie lacks the power of its desktop-based big brother, but as mobile phone video editing suites go, it's the best out there right now.Jan 2015 update: Here’s a post about running iMovie HD in Yosemite. ![]() Beside saving the finished movie to the Camera Roll you can send it to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport, and even publish it on iTunes. There is a great range of exporting features. However, iMovie is definitely in need of more transitions and video filters. There's also a selection of theme music and sound effects to liven up your videos. IMovie includes a selection of eight themes to help you create attractive movies, allowing you to customize them with your own titles and location details (which can be automatically detected by the app, incidentally). for this reason, it would be nice if the app had an interactive tutorial or annotated editing screen (like GarageBand has), instead of hiding the information in help pages. It does take a while to figure all these gestures out though. The timeline is easily manipulated, dragging to cut clip lengths, pinching to zoom in, double-tapping to open clip options, etc. It is a pretty comfortable experience, especially if you're running it on the iPad 2.
