What version of iMovie are you using? What camera is it? How much free space do you have on your hard drive?

That is far, far too little - hardly enough for the operating system to operate properly.

You need at least ten times that (20GB or more). Either delete unwanted crud, or move your files (but not the applications) to an external hard drive.
