To use the Video Podcast feature, simply upload an audio file (e.g., .mp3, .wav) or provide a URL from platforms like YouTube or TikTok, then choose a scene and two characters for your podcast. VisionStory will automatically generate a storyboard with smart shot selections based on your audio, and you can customize the shots, voices, and characters. Once you’re satisfied, click "Generate" to create your video podcast.
Do I need a subscription to use the Video Podcast feature?
Everyone can upload a podcast audio to generate Storyboard with AI-powered speakers and shots, however you need to have a Pro Plan or higher subscription to generate the final podcast video.
Do I need to have advanced editing skills to use this feature?
Not at all! VisionStory’s AI does most of the work for you. The system automatically segments your audio, assigns camera shots, and generates a storyboard for your video podcast. You can fine-tune things like voice selection and shot types, but you don’t need any advanced video editing skills.
Is there a limit to the length of the generated video podcast?
Currently, all generated video podcasts are limited to 10 minutes in length, regardless of your subscription tier. Be mindful of your credit consumption as longer or more complex videos will use additional credits.
Can I customize the characters used in my video podcast?
Yes! You can choose characters from your previously uploaded image library or upload entirely new ones. VisionStory's AI will automatically place these characters into the selected scene, creating a realistic and engaging video podcast setup.
Can I change the voice of the speakers in the original audio?
Yes, you can change the voice of each speaker in the original audio. Once the storyboard is generated, you can select different AI voices for each character to match the tone and style you prefer.
What are the types of shots, and how can I change them?
There are three main shot types: single-person close-up, single-person mid-shot, and two-person shot. To change a shot, simply click on the segment in the storyboard and select the desired shot type from the available options. You can adjust the shot to focus on one speaker or show both speakers interacting.
Can I change the characters after generating the storyboard?
While you can't change the characters themselves after the storyboard is generated, you can swap the dialogue between the two speakers. This means their appearance stays the same, but their voices and dialogue will be switched.
What happens if I make a mistake while editing the storyboard?
No worries! As long as you haven't entered the final video generation stage, you can make adjustments at any time during the storyboard phase. Your changes are saved automatically, so you don’t have to worry about losing your progress.
Can I generate a video podcast from text-based content?
If you don't have an existing podcast audio file, you can use tools like Google's NotebookLM to generate dialogues from text. VisionStory will soon offer a similar service where you can directly create video podcasts from text within the platform.
Can I upload my own background scene for the video podcast?
Yes, you can upload your own custom background scene for the video podcast. VisionStory will place your characters into the uploaded scene, allowing for a fully personalized setting.
How do I switch between different aspect ratios (16:9 vs 9:16)?
You can easily switch between 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait) aspect ratios by clicking the toggle button at the top of the storyboard page. This allows you to adjust the video format for different platforms with one click.
Is there a limit to the number of video podcasts I can create?
There is no specific limit to the number of video podcasts you can create, but be mindful of your subscription plan's credit usage. Each video will consume credits based on its length and complexity.
Can I preview the final video before generating it?
We don’t offer a preview of the final video, but you can review and adjust the storyboard before generating the video. Rest assured, VisionStory’s AI ensures high-quality results, and the final video will match your storyboard with professional accuracy.
What happens if the speaker identification is incorrect in the video?
Currently, if the speaker identification is incorrect, there is no way to manually adjust it. This issue typically arises when two people speak at the same time. To avoid this, we recommend using audio where only one speaker is talking at a time. We are actively working on improving this feature in future updates.
