Choose the dimensions for the video:
Landscape (16:9)
Portrait (9:16)
Square (1:1)
Select Generate video.

Wait for Photoroom to generate the animation. It can take a few minutes. When it is finished, the video will appear.
Select Save to save the video to your device's photo gallery.
Tip: The video's context menu ( ... ) has options for saving and deleting videos.
[Optional] Use the video settings, prompt, and arrow button to make changes and generate variations of the video. Each generation will cost more AI credits.
Select X to exit the Video Generator.
To use the video in other applications, download it from your device's photo gallery. The video is also stored in a folder for the Space in Photoroom.
Troubleshooting
If you are having problems creating a suitable video, try:
Not using a template (select Skip template instead) and then use the prompt to describe what you want. For tips, see Write more effective prompts for AI.
Using a template only or a prompt only, but not the two combined.
Note: The Video Generator will continue to evolve and improve over time.
