I increased my storage on iCloud and moved my data to iCloud , and when opened iMovie all my movies in projects could not be seen and I cannot retrieve these projects/ movies.

Hi,


Try downloading your files back to the Finder so that iMovie can recognize them. iMovie won’t recognize them otherwise. An iMovie library is not cloud based. The files in it, that iMovie references, are located in the Finder. You broke the link when you uploaded everything to the cloud. Try downloading the clips for one project and see if that cures it.
