Bring your designs to life by transforming them into short, dynamic videos. You can add camera movement and/or describe a scene with a prompt.

In the example below, we used a static design showing a side view of a woman wearing a tracksuit. From that, we created a video that shows the camera panning around the woman.

video showing the camera panning around a female athlete wearing a tracksuit.

For instructions on how to create a video from a design, see the "On Web App" section below. If you're looking to upload a photo and use that to make a video, see Create a video from a photo (Web App).

Note: The Video generator feature is currently in Beta. It will continue to evolve and improve over time.

To create a video from an existing design:

  1. Select the Space you want to work in. The Space must have a Max or Ultra subscription as video is unavailable on lower plans.

  2. Select Designs.

  3. Select the context menu ( ... ) for the design you want to export as a video.

  4. Select Generate video.

  5. Choose an animation for the camera movement (cinematography).

    There are several to choose from, including 360 rotation, focus, and glide. The menu shows an animated preview of each animation style.

  6. Choose the dimensions for the video:

    • Square

    • Portrait (3:4)

    • Portrait (9:16)

    • Landscape (4:3)

    • Landscape (16:9)

  7. [Optional] Use the prompt field to add a text description of the video. Use it to describe what you want to see, the type of lighting, the background, whether a person is smiling or serious, etc.

  8. Select the arrow button to generate the animation.

    Note: Video generation costs AI credits.

  9. Wait for Photoroom to generate the animation. It can take a few minutes. When it is finished, the video will appear.

  10. Select Download video.
    The browser downloads your video file, usually to your Downloads folder.

    Note: On the Web App, generated videos are not saved in Photoroom. You should download them to keep your own copy.

  11. [Optional] Use the video generator settings to make changes and select the arrow button to generate another video. When the video is generated, select Download video to save a copy on your device.

  12. Select X to exit the video generator.

You can use the video file that was downloaded to your device in other applications. The video is NOT saved in the Space where it was created.
