If you have previously downloaded iMovie, on some Mac associated with your Apple Account, you might be able to download an older, compatible version by going to the "purchased apps" section of the App Store.


If you have never downloaded iMovie, it is too late now. It now requires a minimum of macOS 15.6 (Sequoia), which means that Apple is only supporting the "most recent two" – not even the "most recent three".
