How to move movies from the new Apple TV app on macbook air to external harddrive

I just bought a new Macbook air and it comes with the new operating system Catalina. With this system I cannot use ITUNES. So I used Apple TV app to buy movies. I want to move these movies to my external hard drive to save space on the computer. When I drag over ,or copy to the external hard drive, Iam not able to replay them form the external hard drive, get the message cannot be read. is there a simple way to do this like I have been doing for years with Itunes?

You can change the location of the TV application's media folder using TV > Preferences > Files, the consolidate your media to a folder on the external drive, or alternatively create a new library on the external drive (hold down option as you launch TV) so it is easier to backup the whole thing and move it to a new computer at a later date.
