imovie saying not enough disk space

If you're getting an error message in iMovie saying that there isn't enough disk space to perform the action you want to take, there are a few things you can try:

  1. Free up space on your hard drive: One of the most common reasons for this error message is that your hard drive is running low on space. Try deleting files or moving them to an external hard drive to free up space.

  2. Optimize your iMovie library: iMovie can be configured to optimize your library, which means that it will store low-resolution versions of your media files to save space. To do this, go to iMovie > Preferences > General and check the box that says "Optimize video" and "Optimize photos".

  3. Disable Time Machine: If you're using Time Machine to back up your Mac, it may be taking up too much space on your hard drive. Try disabling Time Machine temporarily to see if that frees up enough space for iMovie.

  4. Use an external hard drive: If you have a lot of media files or projects, it may be best to use an external hard drive to store them. This will free up space on your main hard drive and also make it easier to move your projects between computers.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to consider upgrading your hard drive or getting a new Mac with more storage space.
