Current iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard?

Hi all,

I'm using an iMac at work that came pre-loaded with iMovie '09. Never had to use it until recently we've started doing some video projects, and I've become extremely frustrated with '09s lack of any sort of normal timeline. I see that '11 offers a timeline once again - great - and was once available for Snow Leopard - even better. But when I hopped into the AppStore I see that the system requirements say OSX 10.7.4 or later... which is Lion.

Is iMovie '11 no longer available for Snow Leopard?

Any suggestions? I'm at the end of my rope with frustration over this iMovie '09 business, but I don't think my work will spring for Final Cut....

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Matt

iMovie '11, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Unfortunately imovie '11 via the app store is only offered for mountain lion. However, my wife's computer is operating Snow Leopard and she has imovie 11' So you might be able to buy the disk or find a third party download and try and install on you iMac.

Best of luck.

So I decieded to try something I took my wife's computer and hooked up my external hard drive to it and copied iMovie11' from her applications folder and then copied it to my applications folder and imovie 11 works offically on 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on both our computers. So it is possible to get imovie11' on your 10.6.8. OS. You just have to fiqured out a way to get a disk or copy it from another computer. We don't have Mountain Lion but you might be able to try and copy from that and install on Snow Leopard.

Cheers!
