If I download iMovie HD 6 from here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html

Do I lose my current iMovie version, or can I just have 2 iMovie's?

Hi Kellie,

From what was told to me, you can run both of them but your other version has to be iMovie 8 which is a part of iLife 8.

I also understand that you can run them independently, but again, you need to have Leopard with iLife 08 bundled (not the off-the-shelf purchased software) in order to download and run iMovie HD/6. I'm looking at doing that myself; I don't mind iMovie 08, but I have surmised, from numerous posts, that editing commercials and adding fade in's/fade out's to TV shows that I import with eyeTV is FAR easier with iMovie HD.

Cheers!

Did you read that on the Apple site somewhere. As far as I can recall, you simply need iLife 08 installed to install the older iMovie HD.

It should not delete the newer version, but instead create a "iMovie HD.app" file name. The iMovie 08 app is simply named iMovie.app. Also note that the version you should be downloading of iMovie HD is 6.0.4.
