How to share / export final project directly to TV app?

I can find options for resolution and file types, etc. but is there a way to export a video directly to the TV app? As it is I have to Share it to the desktop then drag it into the TV app. Just trying to save some time.

What am I missing?

Many thanks!

Importing a video to the TV App (Catalina) and sharing it to my iPad and Apple TV Hi, I have a few home videos (mp4) that I added to the Apple TV app on my Mac. I have Media Sharing on but I cannot see my videos on my iPad nor on my Apple TV, they do not show up. Is this possible? if not, does Apple have any product where I can do that? I rather use an apple prod but if not, I would need to do it thru Plex ($). Thank you, Ant

How do I create an iPad/Apple TV or iPhone version of a home video in the new TV app on my Mac? Now that I have upgraded to Catalina on my Mac, all my movies and home videos are in the new TV app on my Mac. I have some movies that are large and I want to create iPad/Apple TV and iPhone versions of them. In the past, this was the method: In the iTunes app on your Mac, choose Movies from the pop-up menu at the top left, then click Library. Select the movie, then choose File > Convert > Create iPad or Apple TV Version. However, I can't find ANYTHING in the TV app that will let me create smaller file versions for iPad/Apple TV and iPhone. Help? This is so annoying!!

Many hours spent learning quirky iMovie to produce 23 minute 2.5 GB iMovie on our family adventure. Export to desktop as .mov file no problem. Import to Apple TV on the Mac no problem. It's visible in "Home Videos." How do I screen this for family on my home TV? Non of my devices (Apple TV 4K, iPhone 11 proMax, iPad mini v.6) show "home videos." I did import to iPhoto, which syncs to cloud, but playback chokes to a crawl on the iMac where this file resides.
