Wait for Photoroom to generate the animation. It can take a few minutes. When it is finished, the video will appear.
Position the cursor over the video, select it's context menu ( ... ) and then select Download. The browser downloads your video file, usually to your Downloads folder.

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.
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.
