What happens here

After hand-squeezing, scrape any remaining paint from the roller. This can be done by using the edge of the paint tray or a dedicated scraper. The video demonstrates using a plastic bag wrapped around the roller while holding the roller over the tray, then pulling the bag off to scrape paint, before putting the roller into a bucket. This technique helps push out residual paint from the roller's core and cover, directing it into a separate paint bucket for storage or immediate reuse.

Goal: Collect residual paint from the roller into a bucket

What they say

So, without a five-in-one tool, I have a hand. Save. Now, I'm going to just scrape it that into my bucket, and I got enough to finish my cut-ins. Is this a good way to save paint? Look at that. Look at all that paint coming out of the roller. Don't want to waste it.
