Sign in to iCloud is grayed out in iMovie Theater. I am able to create movies on the iOS app and use the Theater in the app and on the Apple TV. Movies created in iMovie for Mavericks are in the Theater but so far I can only export to iTunes. When selecting 'Sign in to iCloud' in upper right, it opens iCloud from System Preferences and indicates I am already signed in.
Any ideas? Typical teething with new software?
Seriously. No one else has this issue?
OMG!! I have this exact same issue. I dont understand what the heck is going on. I might be missing something but dont see what. I logged into icloud. and iMove (upper right hand corner) still asks me to sign in with an icon of the icloud logo with a Thunderbolt inside.
Hey,
So I fuigured out the problem!
When you click on the message telling you to log inot icloud, It will open up the icloud tab on Sytemt Prefrences. The reason it does not work is beacuse you need to turn on Documents & Data and when the options button comes up click on that. That will show you the types of documents and data is being placed and used from iCloud. Check off the box for iMovie and you should be good to go.
Let me know if that doesnt work..

Ray, nice work. I will try this. Makes sense and I do not backup Documents & Data to iCloud from my iMac. I only backup Documents & Data for iDevices. I already have the 25GB plan for iCloud and uploading the movies will push me to about 65GB of data.
This is great work. Thanks!
Sounded like it would work, but did not work for me. I get "There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud." Any other thoughts?

I'm afraid that doesn't work for me. Documents & Data is turned on. Inside that, iMovie is turned on.
I was having the same issue. Got the error that "There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud." To fix this I simply unchecked to share iMovie data in the iCloud section "documents and data". Then start up iMovie. I selected the theater tab. In the upper right corner of the window it showed the iCloud symbol with the lightning bolt through it as well as the text "sign in to iCloud". I clicked it, then reselected to allow iMovie to use iCloud and it starting working again. I was able to share something via iMovie to the theater with no hiccups or error messages.
