Visla&#8217;s AI-assisted platform streamlines the process, making it accessible even for those without prior video editing experience. Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide to making your video with Visla:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Start Your Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a new video project in Visla and begin with the \u201cText\u201d option. Describe your video, including key themes and the overall tone you&#8217;re aiming for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.-Text-to-Video-1024x648.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.-Text-to-Video-1024x648.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.visla.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.-Text-to-Video-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.visla.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.-Text-to-Video-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/www.visla.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.-Text-to-Video.png 1178w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Script and Story Creation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Input relevant information about your company that Visla&#8217;s AI might not know. This includes specifics about your milestones, challenges, team, and customer stories. Visla&#8217;s AI will use this to create a draft script and suggest footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Customizing Your Footage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After generating the initial script and storyboard, you can personalize it by adding your own footage. You can either use <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/premium-video-library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">existing stock footage<\/a> from the Visla library or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/private-stock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upload your own<\/a>. Customize each scene to align with the script and the story you\u2019re telling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Adding Text Overlays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enhance your scenes with text overlays that highlight key points. Visla&#8217;s AI suggests header text for each scene, which you can use and modify as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Incorporating Transitions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select transitions for your scenes to keep the video dynamic and engaging. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/blog\/feature-friday\/feature-friday-how-you-can-add-better-transitions-to-your-videos-with-visla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Visla offers a range of transitions<\/a> that you can apply consistently or vary scene by scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Final Touches and Export<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add or update voice-overs, background music, and subtitles if necessary. Once you&#8217;re satisfied, export your video to share on social media, in emails, and other channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating a Year-in-Review video with Visla is a time-efficient and straightforward process. It&#8217;s an investment in your brand\u2019s storytelling, helping to strengthen connections with your audience and pave the way for future success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Forward With Visla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, a Year-in-Review video is a powerful medium to tell your business&#8217;s story, celebrate achievements, and look forward to future goals.
