Q: I have an iMac with a 2.8 GHz intel i5, 4GB 667 MHz SDRAM, and a 500 GB hard drive with over 400 GB of free space. I just purchased Final Cut Express 4 and when I uploaded my first clip and I tried to render it, it said that I have "insufficient d

insufficient what?

Check to make sure you are using FCE native material eg DV, AIC (not H.264, AVCHD)  and that your still images are in the RGB colorspace (not greyscale or CYMK)

ummmm...AVCHD worls fine with FCE 4.0.1.  Maybe his setup is wrong?

AVCHD works fine in FCE because it is transcoded in the log and transfer process to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). If you try to work directly with AVCHD, without the conversion, or by having converted AVCHD to mp4 with an external convertor, you will have nothing but problems in FCE.

Can you provide details about your camera and what type of footage is was set to record?

Also, how do the clips arrive into FCE?
