Accidentally denied permission to let iMovie access desktop files, does anyone know how to grant this permission?

I was prompted to let iMovie access desktop, but I clicked no, how do I allow iMovie to access desktop now? Is there a way to grant permission?

You can grant permissions to an application in the System Preferences > Security &Privacy:

Open the System Preferences, the click Security & Privacy and open the Privacy tab.
Click the padlock to authorise with your password.
Select "Full Disk Access" in the sidebar.
Is there a request by iMovie waiting? Then click the checkmark to allow iMovie to access items on the disk. You may also want to check "Files and Folders":
