New to Scenario-Based Video? Start with How to Create a Scenario-Based Training Video.
Keep Your Scenario Focused
Clearly define:
Who is involved → What happened → What they need to discuss → What should happen by the end
You don't need an extremely long prompt.
A clear situation and learning objective are usually more useful than trying to describe every camera shot in your initial prompt.
Clearly Identify Your Speakers
If you're providing your own script, identify the character speaking each line.
For example:
Manager: What happened with the report?
Employee: I was waiting for the final sales numbers.
This gives Visla a clearer structure for assigning dialogue to the correct characters.
Keep Character References Simple
Character reference images should establish who the character is.
They should not try to show every scene or situation the character will appear in.
For the best results, use:
One clear character image, or
Multiple views of the same character
Do not combine unrelated scenes or additional people into the character reference.
Keep Character Roles Clear
Give each person a clearly defined role.
For example:
Manager
Employee
Customer
Sales Representative
Instructor
Patient
Customer Support Representative
Clear roles help Visla understand how each character should be used throughout the scenario.
Recommended Number of Characters
For the most consistent results, we currently recommend creating Scenario-Based Videos around two-person conversations.
Scenarios involving more characters may be possible, but additional characters can make maintaining consistent identities, positioning, and environments more difficult.
When possible, keep individual conversations focused on two characters.
Use Master Coverage to Maintain Continuity
Master Coverage establishes the shared visual setup for your characters and environment.
Individual scenes can then change camera angles or focus on different characters while maintaining the same overall scenario.
Generate AI Motion Selectively
Not every scene needs additional AI-generated motion.
Review your storyboard first and decide which scenes would benefit most from more advanced movement or cinematography.
Generating individual scenes gives you more control and avoids unnecessarily regenerating the entire project.
Review Everything Before Generating
Spend time reviewing:
Characters
Roles
Voices
Environment
Master Coverage
Dialogue
Visual directions
Before generating the video.
Fixing these elements during setup is much easier than trying to correct visual consistency after footage has already been generated.
