iMovie on Mojave

I have an iMac running Mojave and I would like to have iMovie but on the app store, they only have the latest version that won't work on Mojave? Is there any way to purchase/obtain iMovie for Mojave?

If you ever had iMovie 10 on your Mac, even if you later deleted it, you can use the following procedure to obtain the highest version of iMovie that Mojave will run.


To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the

trash. (You can skip that step if you had iMovie 10 on your computer before, but deleted it.) Sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see your purchases

displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash (if you moved it there) and return it to the Applications folder.


If iMovie 10 does not show in your account's purchased list, you can check to see if it is hidden by clicking on the View Information item in the upper right of the Account purchased pane. That will open another box with a Hidden Purchases item that will let you find and unhide any previous hidden purchases.
