Cannot import media from icloud drive

So I've fired up iMovie and wanted to import some media from my icloud drive, which is visible in Finder but not from iMovie for some reason. How do I access my icloud drive from within iMovie?


Thanks

Hi, Jason,


I'm not sure that you can import media directly from the Cloud into iMovie. You can download your media to your desktop or the downloads folder and from there drag it into iMovie. When I open my iMovie import window and click on downloads, I see some folders called iCloud Drive (Archive) but I believe those contain only media that I have previously downloaded.
