iPad iMovie - which iPads will run this?

[ssledoux]

I'm selling off a 6th generation pad, and my friend that wants to buy it has a son who wants to use iMovie. The app is installed, so I'm just wanting to be sure iMovie will work on a 6th generation.

Apparently it won't on a 5th generation.

I know absolutely nothing about iMovie other than the app is there. ;-p

This might seem like an obvious answer but... can't you just open it and test it?

LOL I guess I could, if I even knew what to do to try it. I mean it opens and lets me choose a + like I'm gonna start a new project - is that enough for me to know I can use it?

I just thought maybe someone who knows a bit about it could tell me which devices it would work on. I tried looking that information up, but just can't decipher what I'm seeing pop up in response.

Okay it appears it's not the device, but the software, as far as I can tell. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Thanks!

If the app opens then it can be used.

Not only can it be installed and started, but I have also used iMovie to edit various school projects on it. It’s not for anything hardcore obviously, but for someone who is okay with just a few effects and transitions it will work fine. I think of it like windows movie maker I guess.

So, iMovie doesn't work in ipad 5th generation?

Another way to tell if it's compatible is to open the App Store app, look up the app, and go to the Compatibility section.
