To view it on Apple TV it would need to reside within your iCloud photos library and accessed within the Photos app or imported into iTunes so you can use home sharing via the Computers app.
You would also need to encode it into something compatible with Apple TV. Below are the specs for the Apple TV 4K, if you have a different model then there will be some differences.
H.264/HEVC SDR video up to 2160p, 60 fps, Main/Main 10 profile
HEVC Dolby Vision (Profile 5)/HDR10 (Main 10 profile) up to 2160p
H.264 Baseline Profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 fps, Simple profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

Thank you. I'm going to give it a try.
