iMovie keeps saying 'Turn on iCloud Drive' even though it is on

Here is the link to give Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

I have the same issue, however, I am still making movies as I can "share" the file and then upload that to my iCloud drive and access it on other devices. Yes, it is not the seamless way we are used to working, however, it is a liveable, temporary work around.

Same for me after the el cap update. Theatre still works on my apple TV though so I know that that the file are uploaded and can also confirm by checking the iCloud drive size.

This is happening to everyone with iMovie... I tried to contact apple about this problem and nothing helped. Even though this isn't beta anymore its still doing it. I reinstalled OS X Yosemite and it works again. But El Capitan Just doesn't want to show the movies. I would reinstall OS X Yosemite and wait until Apple Patches this bug...

I see that I'm not the only one with this problem! Very frustrating! All but one of my iMovies are gone, and I've tried turning "iCloud drive" off and back on several times.

Same problem here.

• IMovie tells me to turn on icloud drive (although it is already on)
• I do not see (on my macbook iMovie) old theater movies (although i still see them on my iPad),
• new movies that I make can be put on the local theater but cannot be shared on imovie theater via icloud

If I had known about this problem, I would have not upgrade to el capitan; I need to work with my movies.

I've been having the same exact problem in iMovie after updating to El Capitan yesterday. Movies have dissappeared form the theater and the same annoying message keeps appearing. Also, I can see the files in the iPad but movies will not download or play.

Same for me! I'm glad to know its not just me.

Its not an El Cap issue, its an iMovie issue, just wait for an iMovie update

...even worse, after now trying to open the respetive videos directly from ICloud drive via IMovie (open by IMovie), I just realized that this is not working neither (not able to read the respective format anymore).... ?!?!

Yes same here although with some experimentation this is what I've found so far -

1. In El Capitan/iOS9 'turn on iCloud' drive is always there even thought it's already on. Movies can be exported to Theatre but are not showing in 'Theater' on iOS9.

2. In iOS9 movies that were previously exported to Theater (in Yosemite) are showing but nothing will play nor will download.

3. A movie created today on a Yosemite partition and exported to the Theater is showing on iOS9 but as in (2) above will not play or download.

4. The movie just created and movies previously created in Yosemite are syncing/playing/downloading on my work iPad still running iOS8.4 all ok but no movies created and exported to theater in El Capitan are showing.

So yes as Gbrother says, I believe it's basically an iMovie issue where it is just not connecting/working with iCloud (rather than issues with iCloud or El Capitan)

as of October 5th I'm still having that problem. Has anyone heard of any kind of fix? Thanks for any help.

Same problem... very frustrating!!!

I still like to know where my movies are save since the only way to see them is thru OS X or IOS. iCloud drive if you click on the folder I movie shows absolutely nothing in the folder. So if they aren't there and nothing is being saved there why does that folder even exist

Your movies are still in icloud but you can't visualize them from iMovie for OS X. I could download them from iMovie for iOS on to my iPhone. I think we are all waiting for an update from Apple to solve that problem.
