The current version of iMovie available in the App Store can’t run on the iPad. Apple specifically built it for the iPhone, and there’s no way to install it on the tablet. iTunes returns an error when trying to do so. Luckily for us, the folks over at iPadevice (Italian) have found a way to install and run iMovie on the iPad, but a jailbroken device is required.
First off, make sure you have the actual iMovie app. It’s available at $4.99 in the App Store. From iTunes, right-click on the app and “Show in Finder”. Change the app’s extension from .ipa to .zip. Double click on the .zip file, navigate to iMovie/Payload and drag the iMovie.app file from the folder to your desktop. You can delete the other files and folders. In order to copy the file on your device, you’ll have to instal OpenSSH from Cydia. Open a SSH client like Cyberduck and connect your iPad. Navigate to the root “/” then open the “Applications” folder. Drag the iMovie.app file in there and wait for the upload to finish. Once the file is on your iPad, right-click on it and choose “Info”. You have to change the file’s permissions to 777 in order to install it on the device. You’ll notice that iMovie still doesn’t show up on the iPad. Respring (either using SBSettings or Respring from Cydia) and you’ll see it on your homescreen. Now, the app runs as an iPhone app in compatibility mode “out of the box”. Install FullForce (free), open the Settings app, choose iMovie and try to open it again. You’ll be able to import and edit videos on the iPad taking advantage of the larger screen and interface.
