How do I use the Video Podcast feature on VisionStory?
To use the Video Podcast feature, upload an audio file (such as .mp3 or .wav) or provide a URL from platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Next, select a scene and two characters for your podcast. VisionStory will automatically create a storyboard with intelligent shot selections based on your audio. You can further customize the shots, voices, and characters. When you're ready, click "Generate" to produce your video podcast.
Is a subscription required to use the Video Podcast feature?
You can upload a podcast audio file and generate a storyboard with AI-powered speakers and shots, but you need a Pro Plan or higher subscription to generate the final video podcast.
Do I need advanced editing skills to use this feature?
No, you don't need advanced editing skills. VisionStory’s AI handles most of the process for you by automatically segmenting your audio, assigning camera shots, and generating a storyboard for your video podcast. You can make adjustments to voice selection and shot types if you wish, but no advanced video editing experience is required.
What is the maximum length allowed for a video podcast created on VisionStory?
All video podcasts generated on VisionStory are currently limited to a maximum length of 10 minutes, no matter which subscription plan you have. Please note that longer or more complex videos will consume more credits.
Can I personalize the characters featured in my video podcast?
Yes! You can select characters from your existing image library or upload new images to create custom characters. VisionStory’s AI will automatically integrate your chosen characters into the scene, resulting in a realistic and engaging video podcast.
Is it possible to change the voices of speakers in my original audio?
Yes, you can change the voice of each speaker in your original audio. After the storyboard is generated, you can assign different AI voices to each character to match your preferred tone and style.
What shot types are available, and how do I switch between them?
VisionStory offers three main shot types: single-person close-up, single-person mid-shot, and two-person shot. To change the shot type, click on the relevant segment in the storyboard and choose your preferred shot from the available options. This allows you to focus on one speaker or display both speakers interacting in your video podcast.
Can I change the characters after the storyboard has been generated?
Once the storyboard is generated, you cannot replace the characters themselves. However, you can swap the dialogue between the two speakers, so their appearances remain the same but their voices and lines are exchanged.
What should I do if I make a mistake while editing the storyboard?
Don’t worry—if you make a mistake while editing the storyboard, you can make changes at any time before generating the final video. All your edits are saved automatically, so you won’t lose your progress.
Can I create a video podcast using only text?
If you don’t have an audio file for your podcast, you can use tools like Google’s NotebookLM to turn text into dialogue. VisionStory will soon introduce a feature that lets you generate video podcasts directly from text within the platform.
Is it possible to use my own background image for the video podcast?
Yes, you can upload a custom background scene for your video podcast. VisionStory will automatically place your selected characters into the background you provide, giving you a fully personalized video podcast environment.
How can I change the aspect ratio of my video between 16:9 and 9:16?
You can switch between 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait) aspect ratios by clicking the toggle button at the top of the storyboard page. This lets you quickly adjust the video format to suit different platforms.
Are there any restrictions on how many video podcasts I can make?
There is no set limit on the number of video podcasts you can create with VisionStory. However, each video will use credits according to its length and complexity, so your ability to create more podcasts depends on your available credits and subscription plan.
Is it possible to preview the finished video before generating it?
VisionStory does not provide a preview of the final video. However, you can review and edit the storyboard before generating your video. The final output will accurately reflect your storyboard, thanks to VisionStory’s advanced AI, ensuring professional-quality results.
What should I do if the speakers are misidentified in my video?
At this time, you cannot manually correct speaker identification errors. This usually happens when two people talk simultaneously in the audio. For best results, use audio where only one person speaks at a time. We are working to improve this feature in future updates.
