How to Make a Video in ChatGPT

Quick answer: You can make a video from any ChatGPT conversation with the Visla Video Maker plugin. Develop the idea, research, or script in ChatGPT, then call @Visla Video Maker when you’re ready to make the video. Choose AI-generated visuals or stock footage, then open the project in Visla if you want to keep editing.

Use ChatGPT for research, brainstorming, and scripting

Say you’re making a product explainer for a new software feature. Ask what problem the feature solves, what prospective customers are likely to ask, how competitors explain similar features, and which claims need evidence.

Ask ChatGPT to organize the useful findings into an outline. Once the structure looks right, draft the script and revise the wording before video production starts.

When the script is ready:

@Visla Video Maker Create a video from the script above. Use the script exactly as written.

Include any constraints that matter, such as the audience and target lenght.

Turn an existing ChatGPT conversation into a video

The plugin can use context that's already inside of a conversation with ChatGPT.

Suppose you pasted a batch of support tickets into ChatGPT, compared three onboarding approaches, rejected two because they would require product changes, and concluded that new users keep missing the same setup step. Tell ChatGPT which part of that history should become the video:

Pull out only the conclusions we reached about where new users get stuck during onboarding. Ignore ideas we rejected. Turn those conclusions into a 75-second video script for new customers.

Check the result for context ChatGPT flattened or misunderstood. For a long thread, ask for an outline first; it is easier to catch missing context in a short outline than in a finished script. Once the outline is right, draft the script and call @Visla Video Maker.

Choose AI-generated visuals or stock footage

Stock Footage uses real clips selected to match the script. Use it when the visuals are common enough to exist in a stock library, such as office meetings, city traffic, factory floors, or landscapes.

AI Generated Content creates new video clips and motion graphics. Use it when the script needs a specific scene, recurring characters or environments, or a dialogue-based Scenario-Based Video.

For multi-scene projects that need recognizable people, products, objects, or locations to remain consistent, Visla’s AI Director Mode is built around that kind of continuity.

Put continuity requirements directly in the prompt:

@Visla Video Maker Create a polished video from the script above. Keep the visual style, characters, products, and environments consistent across scenes.

Edit the generated video in Visla

Open the generated project in Visla’s Scene-Based Editor. Rearrange scenes, replace or add footage, revise the script, and change text or graphics.

If one scene is wrong, edit or regenerate that scene instead of rebuilding the entire project. Visla supports scene-level editing and individual clip regeneration. Visla
