When you import video clips and photos into iMovie a copy of them is made in the Original Media folder in the Library.


So it should be OK.


You can check by importing an unimportant photo from Photos and then deleting it . . . it will still be in iMovie.


Alternatively you can select the photo in the Browser and go to File/Reveal in Finder. It should appear in the Original Media folder.
