Need older version of iMovie

I'm having the same issue:

When I try to open iMovie this is what happens:

In order to use "iMovie", you need to update to the latest version.

The version of iMovie installed on this Mac is not compatible with macOS Monterery. You have "iMovie" 10.1.14. Download version 10.4 for free from App Store.

When you search App Store it says you need macOS 13.5 or later.

Then it says the OS is updated.

A vicious cycle with getting no closer to my iMovie app which I use all the time.

See if you can find the version of iMovie you need here.

If you meant 10.4, you’ll need a new computer:

If you go to the Mac App Store, Log-in and select Updates, it should give you the iMovie and GarageBand versions for the macOS.

If that doesn't help, go to Account in the App Store and check in Purchased section.

I don't think there is an iMovie 14.

The current version is iMovie 10.4. It requires macOS 13.5 (Ventura) or later. (This was an issue for the OP; their Mac couldn't run anything later than Monterey.). The new 10.4 feature to "export HEVC and H.264 files faster by simultaneously processing video segments across available media engines" requires macOS Sonoma and a Mac with a M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, or M3 Max processor.

Do you have, or can your Mac be upgraded to, Ventura or Sonoma?

I did not suggest digging out old incremental versions from the App Store listings.

The incremental versions are only offered for Update, based on the macOS version.

If iMovie isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support

Monterey 12.7.2 is not going to be enough to help with the main App Store listings, if the App Store is checking for Ventura 13.5 or later. It might be worthwhile for the OP to recheck the Purchased section, though.

The OP said in an earlier post that (emphasis mine)

When I try your first suggestion re:the imovie app it just says: "No updates. All your apps or up to date." I'm still getting caught up in the same cycle: You have “iMovie.app” 10.1.4. Download version 10.4 for free from the App Store," which when I follow that to its bitter end I get an error message that says the new version of iMovie "Requires macOs 13.5 or later."

and

I updated the operating system as far as I could go...which was macOS Monterey version 12.7.1.

Unless updating to 12.7.2 suddenly opens up new options in the Purchased section of the App Store, it appears that the OP is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Update Monterey to 14.7.2.. Then open the Mac App Store and select Updates, there you should be offered the Pages, Numbers, Keynotes and iMovie 10.3.8 updates.
