I'm not experienced with using Black Magic. From what I have read you would need to convert the Black Magic footage to a format compatible with iMovie, such as Mp4.
The free download Handbrake might be able to do it, although I'm not sure. You might try converting a Black Magic clip to H.264, Mp4/AAC with the free download, Handbrake.
You can get Handbrake here:
A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
If Handbrake won't do it, there are other conversion apps out there that you can find by Googling.
Perhaps someone who has used Black Magic will chime in here.
