Can't export Live Photo to Video

Apparently you are supposed to be able to export a Live Photo into a video. Everywhere I look it says select the Live Photo go to Share or Export and then select 'save as video'. There is no such option. I have a 2 yr old MacBook Pro that is fully updated. And yes my photo is set to "Live" not "long exposure or anything else. What am I missing? Also - it would be really nice to be able to select and convert multiple Live photos at once - but I'll take what I can get. Here are 2 pics of both my Share & Export options.

When you export a Live Photos from Photos with "File > Export > Export unmodified original" you will see two exported files, the high resolution still frame and a videoclip with the animation. Discard the still images and keep the videos clip. This will also work, when you select more than one Live Photo at once.

This is what I see when I do that - so is it checking the xmp box? Not sure what options here are video
