How do I transfer videos from photos app to desktop?

How do I transfer videos that are already in my macbook's photo album to finder's desktop? It keeps giving me a stupid error message saying it won't transfer. This is for iMovie because you can't add videos directly from photos to iMovie without it turning into a photo.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Select the video, then from the file menu:

file>export or

file>export unmodified original (preferred if you are going to iMovie)
