How do I downgrade to iMovie '11 v9.0.4 from v9.0.6

Ever since I upgraded to version 9.0.6 from the App Store, I no longer have sound imported from my home DVD videos. I get the video imported but there is no sound. The DVD player app plays the DVD with audio fine so I know the DVD has sound. I found some other forums talk about this and some folks fixed the problem by downgrading to 9.0.4. But their procedure is to delete iMovie and reinstall from installer disk. My Mac did not come with iLife installer disk because it came preloaded. Also, I understand that iMovie download files from the Apple Support website will not work with my preloaded iMovie file. My TimeMachine has not run for a while so I can't rely on it.

Here are the various builds of iMovie. There is no 9.0.0, but 9.0.1 looks like the most recent stable build.

As for your projects, they should stay in the same directory even when you change application versions.
You can navigate to them manually by going to *yourhomefolder*/movies. You should see iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders.
You can back them up if you're nervous about losing them.
Happy moviemaking!

How do I downgrade to iMovie '06?

How do I downgrade to iMovie '06? I have '11 but would like the effects from '06? I cannot download it from any of the available links.

I am not sure if it is will still work but if you have an original disk you can try loading it. It should load to a different folder.

How do I downgrade to iMovie HD6?

I got iLife only to find that it won't install iMovie 08 (my old Mac Pro is too old for it) and I remember that Apple had posted a downgrade link to the previous version of iMovie because there were a lot of complaints about the radical changes in the 08 version. Can anyone tell me how I can downgrade to that previous version? Many thanks.

Hi bubbalou - Jon's link won't work for you because it is available only to those with iMovie 08 already installed - and you couldn't install it.
Also, 6.0.4 isn't a "downgrade". It is an 'as-well-as'. It is saying that some people may prefer to continue using the HD version for some editing purposes.
Did you not have an HD version already on your computer? If not, probably your only recourse is Ebay, as it is no longer available in stores.

How do I downgrade to iMovie 9.0.1 or 9.0.0?

Back in January I upgraded to iMovie 9.0.2 and I have been working on a project ever since. Just to check on it, because my computer goes slow and I cant view how it will really play in the Full screen Theater, I export it from time to time to see how its coming out. And I just have started to notice the audio issue attatched to the 9.0.2 update.
I have been told that the only way to fix this is to revert back to 9.0.0, can someone tell me how to do this while not losing my projects? Thanks

How do I move an iMovie 10.0.7 project from one computer to another to continue editing?

I am using iMovie version 10.0.9 and created a project that I need to somehow move to another computer and continue editing in iMovie. How can I get a file that I can drop onto a drive and open up on another computer to continue editing? Exporting the movie is not an option, as you can no longer edit the movie. Thank you!

I think the trick is to 'Considate source media' on the new library. See:

Downgrading to iMovie from Final Cut Express - exporting?

My husband and I used to be into video editing before the kids were born. We have two 6 year old macbooks and one is dead and one is dying so we are forced to make a decision here on how to procede. My husband does one or two hobby type movies a year, but we mostly use our video editing software for home movies of the kids now. We don't have the money to spend on these things we used to, or the time to really be trying to tinker around with Final Cut anymore. So we decided to buy the $600.00 Mac Mini instead of a new laptop. We are thinking about switching back to iMovie as well, since buying the newer version of Final Cut will be pretty spendy, and iMovie seems to have come a long way since we last used it. We have a really old version of Final Cut right now, so I think upgrading would be necessary if we stick with Final Cut.
I am really confused about the new iMovie though. We have been using a Sony Digital 8 camcorder and storing our movies on tape. I talked to the guy at the Apple store about the Mac Mini and asked why there was no 'export to camera' on the new iMovie (I'm actually using '09, but I am told 11 doesn't have it either). He looked stumped and actually said he had never heard of doing that and why would I want to do that. I asked where I was supposed to store our final movies and he said the hard drive. I was surprised and told him that hard drives crash, but tapes last much longer. He said tapes degrade, and I said yeah, but not for like 30 years or longer, our hard drives have only lasted on average 5 years. But later I was thinking that maybe it wasn't a bad idea to back up our tapes on the hard drive. We have a 1 TB external which we would probably fill when all is said and done. I am thinking of getting some cloud storage from BackBlaze as well, so I started thinking that maybe tapes are becoming obsolete and we should really do this HD thing (for now, until a better storage option comes out in a few years because HD's are obviously not ideal).
But then I started looking at the new iMovie and I have no idea how to export a final movie into a file that won't lose any quality. In final cut there is the 'self contained movie' setting which is a full quality version of the final movie. But in iMovie, I can't find an equivilent. How are you exporting your final movies in iMovie and where are you storing them? And if we downgrade to iMovie, will there be a loss in quality? I saw another thread that says that iMovie 11 is exporting movies that lose a lot of quality. Has Apple fixed this yet? When we started using iMovie years ago we were told that it imports and exports the exact same quality since it is all digital there would be no degradation. But now that I read that there is a loss of quality in the new iMovie I am nervous to downgrade to iMovie. Can anyone shed some light on these issues for me? Should we stick with Final Cut, or can we make iMovie work?

Is this a really slow board, or did I ask a silly question? Why no responses?

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I need to transfer an imovie project on an ipad from one itunes account to another. I need to be able to continue editing the project once it is transferred to the other account. Is this possible? If so how?

I dont own a mac but i can access itunes

Hi Fruity Tooty,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Your iMovie project (data) is not tied to your Apple ID. If you don't own a Mac, you could use Airdrop to send the iMovie project to another device with a different Apple ID to continue working on it. Here's an article that explains how:

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.

How do i export an imovie to a facebook group?

It is easy to export to a Facebook account, but how do I export to a Facebook Group that has restricted access? The Group under my account is a Private Group which means only members of the group can view its content, however from both my iPhone and in iMovie three is no reference to Facebook Groups of any kind.
How can I export my iMovie into my private group without making it public eg through my main FB account or via a service such as YouTube? I just want the file to be in the private group and not visible to non-members.
TIA

Thanks for your reply Matt, that is what I have been doing, but I was really hoping it would be possible to do this from the Sharing menu on either or both of my iPhone or iMovie.
I guess I shall be disappointed yet again. As so often, "So much promise, so little delivery."

How can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

how can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

I would not recommend that you move iMovie files to the Time Capsule. You will not get sufficient performance for editing. For this reason, iMovie does not show the Time Capsule as an attached drive within iMovie.
If you move these files using the Finder, you will likely make the projects unusable, because the links between the projects and events will be broken.
Use a locally attached external hard drive tha is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
See this User Tip for how to move the Events and Projects to a locally attached drive. (By locally attached, I mean a drive that is attached to your Mac via USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt cables.)

How can i import into imovie using the camera's built in memory?

How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory. All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater
