Is AI Director Mode the same as an AI storyboard generator?

AI Director Mode includes an AI storyboard generator, but it goes further. It lets you set direction details upfront—such as characters, objects, environments, pacing, and voiceover style. Visla then builds a scene-by-scene AI storyboard that follows those choices, so scenes stay consistent. After that, you choose which scenes become full AI video clips.

Do I still control the final video?

Yes. AI Director Mode handles planning scenes and generating visuals, but you make the decisions. You review the AI storyboard, edit any scene, and decide what becomes motion. You export the video only when it meets your standards.

Can I keep my logo and product visuals consistent across scenes?

Yes. You can add your logo, product images, brand mascot, and other assets during setup. Visla carries those assets across scenes so your video stays on brand. You can also swap or refine assets at the scene level if changes are needed.

What inputs can I use to start a project?

You can start from a script, a rough outline, a webpage, a PDF, a slide deck, existing images, footage, or audio. Visla turns that input into a structured project, then you guide the direction before generating the AI storyboard.

Can I keep some scenes as images instead of clips?

Yes. Each scene starts as an AI-generated storyboard image so you can iterate quickly. You then choose which scenes stay as images and which scenes become full AI video clips, helping you control both style and spend.

💡 What is AI Director Mode?

AI Director Mode is Visla’s new way to build videos. You start with any input, and Visla plans your video scene by scene with AI-generated storyboard images. Next, you set the direction, like pace, voiceover style, and the exact characters, objects, and environments you want on screen. Then you lock in products, logos, and other brand assets so your visuals stay consistent across every scene. Finally, you choose what stays as storyboard images and what becomes full AI video clips.

The benefits of AI Director Mode

AI Director Mode turning a script, webpage, or document into a directed AI storyboard with structured scenes

Turn any input into a directed AI storyboard

Start with a script, a webpage, a PDF, a slide deck, raw footage, images, or even a rough idea. Visla turns that input into a clean AI storyboard with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Then you decide how far to take it, from storyboard images to full AI-generated video clips.

Direct what appears on screen

Great videos feel intentional. In AI Director Mode, you choose the cast, the props, and the setting before Visla generates the storyboard. Next, you guide the tone with style, pacing, and voiceover choices so the final video matches your plan.

Consistent characters and environments across storyboard scenes in AI Director Mode

Consistency you can count on

Most AI video tools drift from scene to scene. AI Director Mode keeps your characters, objects, and environments steady so your story stays readable and your visuals stop “changing actors” mid-video.

Branding that shows up naturally

Bring your logo, product images, brand mascot, and other assets into your project. Visla places them into scenes like a thoughtful director, not like a last-minute sticker. Then your brand stays present without stealing the spotlight.

Save time and avoid expensive do-overs

Storyboards help you make smart calls early. You approve the plan first, then you generate motion only where it adds value. That keeps production fast and helps you spend credits where they matter most.

AI Director Mode changes the way you make videos

When you jump straight into AI video clip generation, the results often feel random. Visuals drift, scenes don’t connect, and the story loses momentum. Branding also slips because characters and objects change from shot to shot.

AI Director Mode fixes this with an AI Storyboard that plans your video before you generate motion. You get structured visual planning, predictable scene output, and hands-on control at every step. Then you keep strong continuity across characters, objects, and environments, while your branding stays consistent from the first scene to the last.

How AI Director Mode works

A step-by-step guide to getting a clean AI storyboard, then generating the video you actually want.

Start a new AI Director Mode project in Visla by clicking Create Video and bringing any input to build a structured video plan

1. Start a new video project>
Click Create Video and bring your starting point. Visla turns your input into a project with structure right away, so you can move from idea to plan without extra setup.
2. Choose a visual style>
Style sets the rules for your look. When you choose photorealistic, cinematic, 3D render, infographic, flat vector, UGC/social, or more, your storyboard scenes share the same lighting, composition, and overall vibe. Next, set direction details like pace and voiceover style so the video moves the way you want.
3. Create or add characters>
Characters make your video feel deliberate. You can generate characters with AI or upload real photos, team headshots, or a brand mascot. Then Visla keeps them consistent across scenes, which works great for explainers, training videos, and story-driven content.
4. Generate or add objects>
Objects anchor your message. You can generate custom objects with AI or upload your own assets like product photos, packaging shots, app screenshots, icons, a logo lockup, or a slide of brand-approved graphics. Then you can reuse those objects across scenes so your video stays coherent.
5. Choose or generate environments>
Environments set context fast. Pick offices, classrooms, studios, homes, outdoor scenes, cinematic backdrops, or abstract branded spaces. Visla blends everything into each storyboard scene so it looks like one world.
6. Visla creates your storyboard>
Now you get a real storyboard. Visla turns your inputs into a scene-by-scene AI storyboard that shows the structure of your video at a glance. Next, you review it like a director in the edit bay and tweak any scene that misses the mark.
7. Edit your video>
By default, each scene starts as an AI-generated storyboard image, so you can refine the story without paying for motion yet. Then you choose: keep a scene as an image, or turn it into a full AI-generated video clip. Next, you polish the final video with Visla’s editing tools.

AI Director Mode converting approved AI storyboard scenes into full AI-generated video clips with consistent characters, objects, and environments

From AI storyboard to video

Once your storyboard looks right, you can turn scenes into AI-generated footage. Visla renders full AI video clips while keeping your characters, objects, and environments consistent. You control which scenes become full clips, so you spend credits where they matter most.

Scene-level video editing

You shouldn’t have to regenerate an entire video to fix one scene. Visla lets you edit at the scene level because your AI storyboard already organizes the structure.

You can:

Regenerate a single scene
Swap characters, objects, or environments
Adjust pacing and transitions
Refine visuals without rebuilding the whole video

Plus, you still get Visla’s full editing toolkit for trimming, arranging, styling, and sharing.

Real-life uses cases for AI Director Mode

Marketing campaign videos

Launch faster with an AI storyboard you can approve in minutes. Then generate a handful of high-impact AI clips that keep your product and branding consistent across every scene.

Product demos and explainer videos

Turn a feature list or help doc into a scene-by-scene AI storyboard that actually tells a story. Keep your UI screenshots, product shots, and brand assets steady while you generate clips for the moments that need motion.

Onboarding and training videos

Create clear training videos that stay on message. Use consistent characters and environments to make lessons feel familiar, then update a single scene when a process changes.

Educational videos

Start with a lesson outline and let Visla map it into scenes with a steady visual style. Then add motion only where it boosts understanding, like steps, diagrams, and key takeaways.

Social media videos

Build a tight storyboard that matches a vertical-first pace. Then test variations fast by swapping scenes, changing hooks, or generating new clips without rebuilding everything.

Internal communications videos

Turn updates into videos people will actually watch. Keep leaders, logos, and key visuals consistent, then regenerate a single scene when the message changes.
