“Not Enough Disk Space” on iMovie

I have 470GB of storage left on my iMac and I tried adding 300MB worth of photos on iMovie and it gave me this message. How do I get rid of it?

The "not enough disk space" issue is cured by redownloading iMovie. To do that drag your iMovie app from the Applications folder to the trash, but do not empty the trash. Then sign in to the app store and open your account by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store sidebar. Your account will open and you will see a list of your purchases, iMovie among them. You can download iMovie from there. If for some reason the download is not available or unsuccessful, drag your iMovie app out of the trash and place it back in the Applications folder.
