When I upgraded to Lion awhile back... I didn't realize that new versions of iMovie, iMovie 11, would not play former versions. How can I play the older versions? Is there an iMovie 2 for Lion, or a workaround?

Hi
iMovie is in reality one name of two very different products
- iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one product and it's evolution
- iMovie'08 to 11 - a totally different product - no code are relatd
so the answer is - Sorry to say - NO !

I was afraid of that. Do you know of any workaround ? Is there an iMovie version that will run my files on Lion?
Thanks,
Dennis
Yes
iMovie HD6 should work - although tricky to get installed - but well described in this forum.
Else - NO

and as addendum zo Bengt's excellent advice:
iMovie is no 'player'.
iMovie projects, from any version, are meant to be shared/broadcasted/exported (diff. words in diff. version, meaning all the same).
Such exports, from any version of iMovie were, are, and for sure will be playable - with Quicktime Player.
So, meant as generic advice:
Don't 'hide' your Projects in iMovie!
Export them, make a mov (or m4v, or mp4, or whatever) of it - done. 😉
How can I play iMovie 2 projects on iMovie 11?
