Hi Ale7517,
I understand that you want to be able to save your Live Photos as videos. I'm happy to provide some help for this.
If you export the unmodified original version of the Live Photo from Photos on a Mac, it will export it as a still image and a video:

Export photos in their original format
You can export photos in the original file format in which they were imported into your Photos library. A Live Photo is exported as two separate files: a still image file and a video file.
Select the photos you want to export.
Choose File > Export > Export Unmodified Original.
Click the Export IPTC as XMP checkbox to export IPTC information (assigned IPTC metadata and keywords) as a sidecar XMP file.
Click the File Name pop-up menu and choose how to name the exported files (this step is optional).
You can name your exported files using the titles you’ve given them in Photos, their filenames, or a filename numbered sequentially. If you choose Sequential, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on).
Click the Subfolder Format pop-up menu and choose how to divide the exported files into folders.
For example, if you export photos from several different moments, you can have Photos export each moment as a subfolder named after the moment. Choose None to export the photos as individual files without subfolders.
Click Export.
Choose where to save the exported photo files, then click Export Originals.
