Maybe I'm missing something critical here but why not just import the 
image directly into iMovie. I opened iMovie, selected import, navigated 
to the picture file, selected the image I wanted and presto, it 
imported directly to a clip space in iMovie. The image was a jpeg. I 
assume most digital cameras today are using jpeg as their default 
format. If the camera is using a proprietary format, it will probably 
require reformatting to jpeg but then it should be a direct shot to 
iMovie.
