Q: not enough disk space error in FCP X. HELP!
I have over 600 GB free on my HD. However, I keep getting this error message when I try to import anything into FCP X. 'There is not enough disk space available at the selected destination. Please choose another one or clear some space.' Sometimes it imports it anyways when I click "OK", and sometimes it doesn't.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null

Is this your system drive? You should be using an external (very fast) drive for media and Libraries.
Select the Library in FCPX.
Go to the File menu.
Select "Delete Generated Library Files."
Then select ALL render files, and all proxy files.
Select Optimized files if you are NOT using optimized files.
Quit FCPX.
Relaunch holding the Option and Command keys at the same time.
Choose to delete preference files.
If you still get the error, run Disk Utility (Utility folder inside the Applications folder).
Run "First Aid" on all drives.
If you still get the error, get a copy of Disk Warrior, and use it to repair the directories of all drives.
If Disk Warrior has any issues with a drive, it could be starting to go bad.
