iMovie HD 6 No Longer Available For Download

iMovie HD 6, previously available as a free download for iLife '08 users, has been removed from Apple's site.

The application, which had been part of the iLife '06 suite, was made available amidst public outcry after a complete rewrite of the application as iMovie '08 resulted in the loss of a number of features that users had come to rely on. iMovie HD 6 was available through Apple's site to users with a valid iLife '08 installation for nearly a year and a half, but has disappeared in a move presumably related to the arrival of iLife '09. The new iLife suite includes iMovie '09, a significant update to the much-criticized iMovie '08.

Update: Several readers have noted that, although Apple has removed their page for the iMovie HD 6 download, a direct download of the DMG remains available.

Actually, no, iMovie HD 6 was not made available due to "public outcry". Apple made it available the day they released iLife '08. Apple already knew that people might not like the then-newest version of iMovie.

iMovie HD 6 is the only way to go if you do not have the awesomeness of Premier or Final Cut. Forget the new crap.

I made the switch to FCP 4.5 HD and I've never looked back at iMovie anything. I'll try the HD 6 download...

No longer available for download... from Apple's website.

There will always be other websites hosting that sort of thing for a long time to come, I'm sure.

SO, it is still there (like dansgil) has pointed out, but it just isn't so easy to find anymore, as now everything points to iLife '09.

I through iMovie 6 HD was available because the '08 flat-out would not run on many machines otherwise support by iLife (like G4s).

I figured that this was coming. Apple did add many of the features that the new iMovie was missing back. I still prefer FCP though.
