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 animation results. 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

Decide what you want your character to say or express:

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

3. Select or Clone a Voice

After setting up your script or audio, choose the ideal voice:

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

4. Configure Video Settings

Before generating your video, adjust the settings to suit your needs:

• 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) based on your sharing platform.
• Facial Expressions: Use the “Emotion” selector to adjust on-screen facial cues (e.g., cheerful, marketing, news). This controls the character’s expression, not the audio’s tone.
• Green Screen (Pro Plan or higher): Enable a solid green background for easy editing in tools like CapCut or to add custom backgrounds later.

5. Generate Your Talking Video

Once 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 features require extra credits.
• Click “Generate Talking Video”: VisionStory will animate your character, syncing lip movements with your script or audio.

6. Final Preview & Sharing

After processing, 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 organized.
• Provide Feedback if you’re not satisfied or want to suggest improvements.
• Share to X or Facebook directly for quick 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 can easily create engaging videos where your virtual character speaks with realistic lip-sync and expressive animation. With VisionStory, anyone in Canada can produce professional-quality talking videos in just minutes!
