How to Create a Talking Video with VisionStory

1. Upload or Select a Character

Upload a front-facing photo with clearly visible shoulders and no obstructions for the best lip-sync and facial tracking. If you’ve already uploaded images or want to try VisionStory’s sample library, you can also select an existing character from your collection.

2. Add Your Script or Audio

Next, decide what you’d like your character to say or express:

• Type Text: Enter your desired script directly into the text field.
• Import/Record Audio: Upload a pre-recorded audio file or record new audio on the spot.
• URL Import: Paste a link (e.g., from YouTube or TikTok) to use audio from external sources.

3. Select or Clone a Voice

Once your script or audio is ready, choose the ideal voice:

• Choose from 200+ AI Voices: Access the Voice Library and filter by language, gender, age, or style. Click the play icon to preview each voice.
• Clone a Voice (Pro Plan or above): For a custom voice, upload or record a sample. VisionStory will create an AI-based replica for use in your projects.

4. Configure Video Settings

Before generating your video, customise the visuals and output:

• Quality:
  • Standard (no extra credits required)
  • HD (Pro Plan or above, additional credits apply)
• Aspect Ratio: Choose from 9:16 (portrait), 16:9 (landscape), or 1:1 (square) to suit your sharing platform.
• Facial Expressions: Use the “Emotion” selector to adjust on-screen facial cues (e.g., cheerful, marketing, news). This changes the character’s expression, not the audio’s tone.
• Green Screen (Pro Plan or above): Enable a solid green background for easy editing or compositing in other video tools.

5. Generate Your Talking Video

When you’re ready:

• Preview Audio: Ensure the voice and pacing meet your expectations.
• Check Credit Usage: Each 15 seconds of video uses 1 credit; HD and green screen options require extra credits.
• Click “Generate Talking Video”: VisionStory will animate your character, synchronising lip movements with your script or audio.

6. Final Preview & Sharing

Once processing is complete, your video will appear in the Assets section. From here, you can:

• Preview or Play the final video to review the result.
• Rename the video title to keep your library organised.
• Provide Feedback if you’re not satisfied or have suggestions for improvement.
• Share to X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook for instant social posting.
• Copy Link to share your video on other platforms.
• Download the MP4 file for local storage or embedding on websites.
• Delete the video if you no longer need it.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to create engaging videos where your virtual character speaks with realistic lip-sync and expressive animation. With VisionStory, anyone in Australia can produce captivating, professional-quality talking videos in just minutes!
