storytelling is everything. I don’t care if the video is shot on a phone. If it keeps my attention, it works. What I struggle with most is making short videos that feel complete and not rushed

@md_saifali Then please try our AI Director Mode, we try not to rush you, we present you with the story before you generate to continue to build, we allow you to upload your own images, videos, PDF/PPTs, even a website that you want to reference, add your own text/script to the process. Then when its compiled, you choose, you decide. We don't rush the process, the process is yours alone, we focus on the workflow, the story is all yours.
@mogabr This is a topic I’m currently trying to 'crack' myself! Coming from a marketing background, I know how vital video is, but it’s definitely the area where I feel I have the biggest gaps. I often find myself leaning heavily on AI tools, but I’ve hit two main roadblocks:
the Cost vs. Value: High-quality AI video is expensive (and I totally get why – tokens aren't free), but it's hard to justify when you're still in the experimentation phase.
the output gap: Sometimes it’s just faster to do it manually than to try and prompt an AI into giving you exactly what’s in your head.
For me, the 'holy grail' is a hybrid workflow - for now. I think having a solid foundation in basic editing, filming, and captioning is still essential. Then, you use AI to enhance or speed up specific parts, rather than expecting it to do everything. I’m still on a journey to find that perfect balance.
What does your hybrid process look like, or are you aiming for 100% automation?

@tereza_hurtova This is exactly the problem we're trying to solve. I agree w/ you more than you might think.
There's currently a gap between "what's in your head" and what AI generates. And if you don't fully understand the basic fundamentals of creating, editing, pacing, and most importantly storytelling, AI doesn't magically fix that. It's not a replacement for talent.
Where we see AI Director Mode fitting is exactly in that hybrid space you described. The biggest inefficiency we've seen isn't editing, it's structural. You generate clips, then try to stitch them together into something that works, well it doesn't always work.
It's your judgement, what's the message, what matters, what is the emotion behind the story. You shape the structure, lock it in, and then build from there.
We're not aiming for 100% automation, because that removes the humanity from the equation. We're about 100% efficiency and productivity.
@mogabr Thanks for the deep dive, Gabe! "AI doesn't magically fix a lack of storytelling" is a quote I’m definitely stealing! I love that you’re focusing on the structural side of things rather than just 100% automation – it makes so much more sense for creators who actually care about the message. Excited to see Visla bridge that gap!

@tereza_hurtova Excited to hear your feedback on it once you try it! 😊
