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

Macbook Unibody 13 in., Mac OS X (10.5.6)

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!

Actually - Sorry to bother again - but how do I replace my current iMovie with one of the ones on the download list?

Hi, you cannot update 9.0.1 if you have a later version 8.0.6 - i have downloaded 9.0.1 (as there does not appear to be a 9.0.0) but update is rejected as it needs version 9.0.0 or later to download! I cannot use imovie any longer as it keeps crashing. This happens when I open the named project - drag a clip and it then force quits every time!? I've spent hours searching for a solution. Can anyone shed any light?
