iMovie projects have disappeared

I have just opened my iMovies and all my projects have disappeared. When I look in finder under Movies I can see that there is 73gb worth of data there but the cloud is dotted with an exclamation mark? I can however access and play some of the projects that I uploaded to my Apple TV under downloads?


Screen shot of what is showing in the finder section.


Please can anyone advise how I find these files?


MacBook (2017)

Double clicking on the iMovie library icon of the library in which the projects were created, will open iMovie in that library to get you back to your projects.


If you are doing that and still don't see your projects, then, in the projects browser (where your projects are shown as icons) go to the top of the screen and click on the projects button and then click on the name of your library at the bottom of the drop down menu that appears.

When I look for the videos from iMovie in my iCloud folders in Finder - I can see the size of the folder but it wont let me click to open as the cloud icon is dotted with an exclamation mark? I can find the individual videos which play on my Apple TV icon but they just open as separate files and don't open in iMovies. I have looked in the MacBook library but can't see anything there either?


When I open iMovies and projects there is nothing there?


I have screen grabbed to show what I can see - am I looking in the wrong places?
