iMovie HD Available Here August 17, 2010
Posted by Robert Harder in : Utility , trackback
The last good version of Apple’s iMovie was version 6, later called iMovie HD. At least that’s my opinion, and it’s shared by a few others. The later versions became more of a video manager (and not a good one), and a very rudimentary editor (and not a good one).
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. Of course you’re trusting that I haven’t embedded some kind of nasty malware or anything, which I haven’t.
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. Enjoy.

I agree. You are a lifesaver; I missed this when buying my new Snow Leopard system, and I’m so glad to have it back!
Thank you so much!!! I work on this version of iMovie on my laptop and with my new iMac I could not do any work….that is until I stumbled upon your magnificence here! Thanks!!
Thank you. Thank you. You’ve breathed a bit of life in my old G5.
Merci
In case anyone is interested, it seems that direct references to it have been removed from Apple’s site, but that iMovie HD 6.0.3 can be still be downloaded from Apple here:

I posted too soon… The updater to 6.0.3 can be obtained, as can the (larger) combo update to 6.0.2, but users will need version 6.0 or 6.0.1 first.
My apologies for any confusion.
