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

When I use iMovie lately, the 'iMovie Theater' keeps saying 'Turn on iCloud Drive' in the upper left had corner. However, i have iCloud drive for iMovie turned on. I try to turn it off and on several times in the iCloud settings. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there another setting that I don't know about? No movies show up in the 'IMovie Theater' even though I have around 6 or 7 on my other devices. (Although I usually have problems with the iMovie Theater not syncing correctly between all my devices.)

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Same Thing Here. 😐

The good thing is that in a week or so it'll be fixed.

I just installed El Capitan and I am having the same issue. I have tried logging out of iCloud and logging back in, restarted the computer, and still have the "Turn on iCloud Drive" in the upper right hand corner. This is extremely frustrating since I have several movies there. In addition, I now fear creating any new movies and sharing them to iCloud Theatre on my Mac since it seems broken. You would have thought this would have been fixed prior to release.

Add me to the list also. Yet another delay to getting videos turned in on top of the 4 hours of trying to get el caption installed on my other mac with no luck so far

I'm having the same problem after upgrading today to actual El Capitan release not the beta. Is there a fix yet?

I assume the fix will be an update to iMovie not El Cap, moving from the beta to the GM would not have fixed it on launch day for El Cap

Same problem here. It started after the El Capitan upgrade yesterday.

We should all report this as a problem through the normal Apple channel.

same issue here in france. after upgrading to El Capitan clean install, I installed iMovie for Mac expecting to get all my movies back from Icloud in the iMovie theater, but I got nothing. iMovie app keeps saying "turn on ICloud Drive" which I did several times but nothing happened. I guess its a new bug in El Capitan.

how can we report this to apple ? 😠
