iMovie "not enough disk space"

Hi,

I bought my MacBook a couple of months ago and today was my first time to open iMovie.

When I started creating the movie, a message saying "not enough disk space" popped on my screen.

I checked many websites regarding this problem and they all suggested deleting iMovie projects to clear some space but the problem is that this is the first time I opened iMovie and I didn't create any movies yet, therefore, my storage is completely clear.

How can I solve the problem?

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.15

The "not enough disk space" issue has been a problem mentioned by several other posters on this forum. Fortunately it is easily solved. To solve it you only need to redownload iMovie. To do that, drag your iMovie app from the Applications folder to the trash, but don't empty the trash. Then sign in to the online app store (Apple Logo/App store from the main menu) and open your app store account by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. Your account will open and you will see your purchases, including iMovie. Download iMovie from there. If for some reason the download is unavailable or unsuccessful, drag your old iMovie app out of the trash and put it back in the Applications folder. However, the download should be successful. After it downloads, the "not enough disk space" problem will be gone.
