Insufficient disk space error on iPhoto 9.5.1 using iOS 10.9.4.

I am trying to import around 12,000 photos from an old computer and have so far imported 4,000. There are over 300 gigabytes free on the computer, and when I go to transfer more photos over I get the "Insufficient Disk Space" message and the photos do not transfer. All of the solutions I have found online are outdated, so I was wondering how to solve this problem now?

Thanks!

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Try to import a new batch photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

If it doesn't then give this a go on your existing library:

1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.

2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
