Old Toad, can you assists?!

Running Mojave 10.14.6, iMovie 6.5.1 and 9.0.9

What used to be easy before Mojave now isn’t (it was in High Sierra). I am trying to save an iMovie 6 project as an MP4 file, playable in iTunes etc, but I cannot get it to work.

Handbrake won’t do it, VLC won’t do it, Toast won’t do it, nor will Quicktime. iDVD will, but I don’t want any themes.

So I decided to try iMovie 9 (previously untouched) but found that I have to register this first (why?), but the link to registering it goes to some seemingly unrelated corporate registration setup for different applications.

So, I am stuck in the wonderful world of non-backwards compatible Apple software.

I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions on how to proceed!

Hi, Klaus,

I'll certainly defer to Old Toad if he sees and responds to your post.

Meanwhile, have you tried the following path from iMovie 6?

File/Export/Expert Settings/Share/Export:Movie to MPEG-4/Save

I tried it with a copy of iMovie 6.5.1 project on my Mac, also running Mojave. The above will export an Mp4 file.
