OH YES. PLENTY OF SPACE. LIKE 23 GIG

actually charge to fix their own muss ups
23 GB may not be enough depending on your movie.
Try deleting the preference files:
Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
