How to Create a Video Using AI Director Mode
Step 1: Start a New Project
From your Visla dashboard, click Create Video
Select AI Director Mode
Add your starting input, such as:
Script or idea text
PDF or presentation
Webpage URL
Audio or footage
Images
Step 2: Set Project Basics
Choose your project settings:
Video duration
Aspect ratio
Pace and tone
Voiceover style and language (if applicable)
Whether to include an AI Avatar
These settings apply across the entire video.
Step 3: Choose a Visual Style
Select a visual style that defines the overall look of your video, such as:
Photorealistic
Cinematic
3D render
Infographic
Flat vector
Social or UGC style
Stylized or cartoon
This style is used consistently across all scenes.
Step 4: Add Characters
Add characters that appear in your video:
Generate characters with AI or upload images
Assign each character a name, role, and description
Characters help maintain visual continuity across scenes.
Step 5: Add Objects
Add important objects such as:
Products
Logos
Screenshots
Props
For each object, define:
Name
Type
Description
Objects can be reused across multiple scenes for consistency.
Step 6: Choose Environments
Define the environments or settings for your scenes:
Office
Studio
Outdoor location
Abstract or branded background
Each environment includes a name and description to guide scene generation.
Step 7: Review the Storyboard
Visla generates a storyboard made up of images for each scene.
Before generating video:
Review scene order and flow
Edit text or descriptions
Rearrange or remove scenes as needed
No credits are used at this stage.
Step 8: Generate AI Video Clips
Once the storyboard looks right, choose how to animate it:
Generate all scenes at once
Or animate scenes individually
Animating scenes is when credits are consumed.
Best Practices
Review and finalize your storyboard before generating video
Reuse characters and objects to maintain continuity
Keep environments consistent unless the story requires a change
Generate scenes individually if you want tighter control over pacing and cost
Tip: You can animate only key scenes (such as the hook or CTA) to reduce credit usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start from any type of input?
Yes. You can start from text, scripts, PDFs, presentations, webpages, images, audio, or footage.
Does AI Director Mode automatically generate video?
No. You first review the storyboard, then choose which scenes to animate.
Can I edit individual scenes later?
Yes. AI Director Mode supports scene-level edits after generation.
How do I keep visuals consistent across scenes?
Define characters, objects, and environments upfront. Visla uses these as anchors to maintain consistency.
Can I reuse logos and products across scenes?
Yes. Add them as objects and reuse them throughout your storyboard.
