Is there a way to install a previous version of iMovie so I can use the program still or is it a lost cause and I should just uninstall because I won't be able to open it again? Worst case scenario I will install some other video editing software but I really don't want to just for this, I should be able to continue using iMovie. I need to use iMovie for a project but apparently it updated in the background some time ago and now it is not supported by Catalina, so when I try to open iMovie I get an error message prompting me to update my OS which is obviously not an option. So I have avoided installing it, despite my computer pestering me with the update notification every day.

Is it possible to install a previous version of iMovie that's compatible with Mac OSX Catalina? My Macbook Pro is a 2012 model, meaning it is not compatible with Mac OSX Big Sur. Then you will be able to get current iMovie. So, if you can, upgrade to Mojave in your situation. Further, you cannot get the latest version of iMovie unless you are running Mojave 10.14.6 or Catalina. I hope there's a back door to get iMovie 10.3 or whatever I'm going over to a more professional editing program but need to access old iMovie projects and export them. Unlike Mojave, Catalina does not support the older 32bit apps, as you know. System Preferences/Software Update hasn't ever suggested an iMovie update to my knowledge.

Looking under "Purchases" in the App Store, iMove doesn't appear-I never bought it, it came with the Mac, and all the Mac OSX/macOS upgrades since. Searching for iMovie 10.3 in the App Store returns no results. The App Store version of iMovie is 11.5.1, and it says it's not compatible with Catalina.

I've scoured the community and Apple Support looking for a way to download a version of iMovie that's compatible with Catalina. Reinstalling Mojave didn't fix it, so I went through the hassle of upgrading to the highest macOS a MBP mid-2012 can use. It would crash when trying to export a project. It was from 2016, version 10.1.1, and even under Mojave it was getting buggy. Just an "X" through the icon in the dock.

How to get an iMovie compatible with Catalina? I just upgraded from Mojave to Catalina, expecting to get the latest (compatible) version of iMovie with it, but no.
