Error message: Downloading Videos on iMovie | I have the fix! | LVN Mom

I was getting this error message that read “Downloading Videos Some of the videos in this project are being downloaded from iCloud”. Things I tried, shutting down the iPad, deleting the app and reinstalling it (I see that suggestion too), I deleted to make more memory room and that wasn’t working. When it first started I watched the whole video and didn’t see the grey (not sure how I could miss it, or maybe it wasn’t there in the beginning). I spent hours looking all over the internet but couldn’t get an answer. I seen a few videos asking for help but zero videos offering to help. Which is why I HAD to make this video! I know your frustrated and I’m long winded but know I’m here to help! I know your frustration! Also know their are ways to save the greyed out areas but I was so frustrated that I just didn’t want to deal with it anymore and just deleted them! Sorry I’m not able to upload this video on the day it was made. I have stuff already in the queue and I don’t want to mess that up so this will be late hopefully you still find it helpful!

Hi from Victoria, BC, Canada.. Thank you for your Video ..All of my video is greyed out unfortunately.. this happens a lot .. lost lots of content for my clients so frustrating.. Have a great day !

[@andrewniccol5]

Highest quality content! Thank you!

[@jarynnquintanilla9739]

All the clips in my video were grayed out. The original clips in my photo album were deleted years ago. I tried deleting gray clips from a video I didn't care for (all clips grayed out, and originals were also deleted from my album). So I don't think I'm safe just yet.

[@markburton9712]

Ta very much, I'm chuffed to bits with my new I Mac, but I need tutorials like yours as I've got no idea how to use it... God bless.

It worked! Thanks!

[@blueberrymuffinwaffles]

I still can’t do it, how are you supposed to delete the gray part if you can’t even watch or edit the video?

[@lvnmom6652]

You should be able to click all of the pop ups and get into the video. Then you can delete the grey parts.

[@ralphthemasterofbricks8707]

Um I panicked and deleted all movies. Was that ok? Also what do they want from the downloaded videos

[@lvnmom6652]

I think you misunderstood. Just delete the greyed out area OR If you have the missing spots somewhere else then put it back on the device you’re editing on.

Will it let you download even with this message?

[@lvnmom6652]

It sounds like your stuff is on the iCloud. Download it to the device you’re editing and see if that helps.

Dont understand

[@prod4yaan]

For me the whole video is a grey area

[@lvnmom6652]

You might have to start all over.

[@DestineyAmerie]

That’s no help at all! That’s deleting footage!

[@lvnmom6652]

You can add it back if you have it. Deleting footage is what caused the grey (or moving it).
