Error Importing - Disk Space when there is plenty of Space

Question

Hello,
I am trying to import small .avi movies into iMovies. When I do, it states that there is a Error Importing due to not enough Disk Space. I have 24GB of disk space available, however, inside the iMovie application it states that there is only 20kb available. Has anyone come across this?
Thank you
Leoville

I had the same problem. The following steps worked for me. 
1. In iTunes on my Mac, on the Summary page for my iPhone, under "Options" I clicked "sync only checked songs and videos."
2. On the "Music" page, I clicked Sync Music and then clicked "Selected playlists, albums," etc. underneath.
3. IMPORTANT! make sure that the "automatically fill free space with songs" is NOT clicked. My computer kept clicking that one automatically and I had to keep turning it off.
4. I clicked one playlist or album at a time and watched the status bar (below) to see how much space was being taken up (the blue line).
5. When I had as much music as I wanted, I clicked Apply.
It turned out that I had one play list which, for some unknown reason, had a huge number of songs on it and that was clogging up the works. When I unchecked it, I had enough room for the rest.
I hope this helps!
