No previous installation required!OFFICIAL iMovie Download: this tu. In iOS 13, swipe down from any home screen to reveal a search bar where you can type in 'iMovie.' If you've already upgrade to iOS 14, just scroll to the App Library page and search for iMovie.

This is really obscure, but really easy.

It turns out that the full iMovie 9 app is included with the freely available iMovie 9.0.9 'update'...it just takes a little know-how and elbow grease to liberate it.

Here's what you do:

Download iMovie 9.0.9 Update
Double click iMovie9.0.9Update.dmg to mount it
- open ~/Downloads/iMovie9.0.9Update.dmg
Use Terminal.app to expand (not execute) the pkg archive
- pkgutil --expand /Volumes/iMovie 9.0.9/iMovie9.0.9Update.pkg ~/Downloads/iMovie/
Rename Payload to Payload.zip
- mv ~/Downloads/iMovie/iMovie9.0.9Update.pkg/Payload ~/Downloads/iMovie/iMovie9.0.9Update.pkg/Payload.zip
Unpack Payload.zip (to Payload 2)
- open ~/Downloads/iMovie/iMovie9.0.9Update.pkg/Payload.zip
Move iMovie to the Applications folder
- mv ~/Downloads/iMovie/iMovie9.0.9Update.pkg/Payload 2/Applications/iMovie.app /Applications/iMovie 9.0.9.app

Tada!

Enjoy!

You have to do some of these steps from the command line, so you might as well do all of them from the command line to make it faster and less error prone:

Make sure you unplug any cameras or phones from your computer before opening iMovie for the first time,otherwise it'll take a while to catalog everything before you can begin to use it.

This should work, in 2020, on all of the MacOS releases:

10.12 Sierra
10.13 High Sierra
10.14 Mojave
10.15 Catalina

If you have an older version of OS X, you may just need to download an older version of iMovie 9:

As long as the file size is about 1 GB, it probably contains the full version,meaning that a slight modification of the process outlined above will likely work.

If you try to get iMovie 10 from the App Store and you don't have the absolute latest version of macOSyou might get a warning like this:

Would could not complete your purchase

iMovie can't be installed on 'Macintosh HD' becausemacOS version 10.14.6 or later is required.

HOWEVER, if you first install iMovie 9 with the method shown above,when you next visit the App Store you will find that you now have the 'Upgrade' option.

Neat!
