Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I need help! I have a project in FCPX that I transferred from iMovie and was originally 50gb. Within the past two days, the event/project size has soared to 90 and then 130gb. I have done almost nothing to the project and continuously deleted render files! Does somebody know what I can do? Thanks!

If your file size in growing it's highly likely it's render files.
Turn off background rendering in preferences. File>Delete Computer Generated Files>Al Render Files.
If you need to render anything to judge an edit, use Control-R to render that selection.

As Russ suggested, the render files do not need to switched on.
Another thing that can happen is highlighted in the screen shot:
In most cases these items can be left unchecked.
Having them checked will more than double whatever you import.
