### Step 3: Get Your Video

```python
import time

# Wait for video to complete
while True:
    status = vloex.videos.retrieve(video['id'])

    if status['status'] == 'completed':
        print(f"🎉 Video ready: {status['url']}")
        break

    if status['status'] == 'failed':
        print(f"❌ Failed: {status.get('error')}")
