Visla: A Game-Changer for Video Content Creation with AI
If you are a creator or a small business owner, you’ve probably felt overwhelmed by the thought of creating professional videos for your brand. Whether it’s for social media, a YouTube channel, or your company’s About page, the process can be costly and time-consuming.
You aren’t alone. Video content is king these days, but producing high-quality videos can feel daunting, especially if you are juggling a million other tasks.
Thanks to video content creation tools with AI, we are now able to create videos much faster than before.
Recently I had the pleasure of chatting with Huipin Zhang (Founder and CEO of Visla), as well as Gaozong Vang (content specialist at Visla) who introduced Visla to me. I was excited to test run Visla as a game-changer for marketers, educators, authors, bloggers, podcasters, or someone like you who’s looking to amp up your content strategy.
But Visla isn’t just any other AI video creation tool where you throw an idea or a link, and you will get a generic video in return. Visla has a secret weapon called Private Stock that is unparalleled to its competitors. Private Stock allows you to use your stock in the form of videos that can be integrated with your final AI videos. We will talk about that in a second.
To start, let’s take a look at Visla together to find out if it could be the right AI video creation tool for you and your business.

The Struggle is Real: Why Video Creation Feels Hard
After years of creating videos here at Feisworld, we understand first-hand how it can be time-consuming and technically challenging. From scripting and filming to editing and adding those finishing touches, it’s a lot for anyone. And if you’re not a video expert, the learning curve can be steep. But what if there was a way to simplify the process without sacrificing quality?
Let’s take a step further: what it be like if you could have an AI assistant for your video creation journey?
Video Tutorial
Meet Visla: Your AI-Powered Video Assistant
Visla is an AI-powered platform designed to make video creation accessible and efficient. It’s like having a personal video editor and producer rolled into one, ready to help you create engaging content with minimal effort.
Key Features That Make Visla Stand Out
- AI Video Generator: Do you have a blog post or some text you want to turn into a video? Simply input your text or even a URL, and Visla’s AI will generate a video complete with voiceover and relevant visuals from their free and premium video stock. To personalize your video further, you can train your voice to be the voiceover directly inside Visla, how cool is that?
- Private B-Roll Library: This feature blew me away, and it’s one of the key features in differentiating Visla from its competitors. You can upload your own stock footage—think clips of you working, behind-the-scenes moments, and product shots—and Visla’s AI will automatically tag and incorporate them into your videos where relevant. It’s like having your personalized stock footage library.
Take a look at my Stock inside my workspace.
Instead of having to open up DropBox or Google Drive each time to remember what’s available, Visla automatically tags your Private Stock (if you are on a paid plan). For free plan users, you can manually tag the footage inside Visla. Then it’s ready to use for future projects.
- AI Video Editor: Do you already have video content but need to spruce it up? Visla offers AI-driven editing tools like auto-cut (which removes unwanted pauses or filler words), automatic captioning, and even background music that adapts to your video’s mood.
- Customization Options: Visla’s customization options are extensive yet very organized and easy to access. Instead of editing videos traditionally on a timeline, you no longer have to slide and dice the scenes because scene-based editing is part of Visla’s magic. Take a look at the screenshot above, each scene can be independently edited when it comes to recording, voiceover, volume, text, scale, and animation.
These are just a handful of features I want to highlight in this article. However, Visla truly is an all-in-one video production platform that includes recording, editing, collaboration, AI generation and creation features.
Some of our frequently used features also include filler word removal, pause removal, text-based editing, noise reduction, and voiceover (including training your voice using AI). The possibilities are endless with a tool like Visla, and this article is only touching the surface.
With Visla, you have full control over your footage without learning to be an editor. From adding lower thirds and call-to-action buttons to customizing captions and text overlays, Visla gives you the creative control to make your videos truly yours.
Real-World Applications: How You Can Leverage Visla

With Visla, you can turn chapters of your book or blog posts into engaging videos without the headache of scripting and editing, and easily repurpose your written content into a new medium.
Pro Tip: Upload excerpts of your book, transcripts from video clips, or blogs into Visla and let the AI do the heavy lifting. You can then tweak and refine the video to match your brand’s voice.
For Podcasters and Webinar Hosts
If you’re a podcaster or regularly host webinars, you probably have hours of valuable content. Visla can help you create highlight reels, promotional clips, or even full-fledged video versions of your audio content.

Pro Tip: You can take advantage of the Private B-Roll Library to include your own branded visuals, making your videos feel more personalized, authentic and professional.
My Experience with Visla
When I first tried Visla, I was curious but a bit skeptical. Could it really simplify video creation that much?
I put Visla to the test recently using Michael Leckie’s book “The Heart of Transformation”. All I did was borrow a small amount of text generated using his book’s custom chatGPT.
Here’s the basic content I entered into Visla:
The Heart of Transformation: Embracing Curiosity for Organizational Change Discover how curiosity drives organizational transformation in 'The Heart of Transformation' with Michael Leckie. Learn the importance of exploring new possibilities and fostering innovation in an ever-changing digital landscape. This educational video inspires business leaders and change agents to embrace curiosity as a vital tool for adaptability and success.
Within minutes, here’s the result generated by Visla.
Not only did Visla produce a professional-looking video, but it also incorporated relevant visuals that matched the content quite well. And the best part? I didn’t have to spend hours editing or searching for stock footage.
By the way, I even decided to turn off the premium footage and only used free stocks, the result was nearly just as good.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Visla
No matter how popular an AI tool may be, it takes time and practice to make the most out of your experience.
- Start Simple: If you’re new to video creation, begin with a short piece of text or a single concept. Let Visla generate the initial video and then experiment with the editing features.
- Leverage the AI Prompts: Visla allows you to guide the AI by specifying key points or topics you want to focus on. You can use this approach to your advantage to ensure the final product aligns with your vision.
- Customize Your Branding: Make use of the customization options to add your brand colors, fonts, and logos. This will make your videos instantly recognizable and consistent with your other content.
- Explore the Music Library: Background music can set the tone for your video. Visla offers a variety of tracks and allows you to control the volume and pacing to match your content.
- Take Advantage of Private Stock: If you have private stock available, upload and use it inside Visla! Whether it’s long or short form, Visla can help analyze them and turn them into clips that will transform your projects.
Why Visla Might Be Right for You
If you’ve been putting off video content because it feels too complicated or time-consuming, Visla offers a solution that’s both powerful and user-friendly. It’s designed to be your assistant “who” handles the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on your message and creativity.
I also want to make a case for experienced creators such as podcasters, YouTubers, and webinar hosts. Visla can help prepare and produce some of your videos. As for Feisworld, we are exploring Visla for explainer videos, as well as teaser videos for our clients and colleagues who are authors and speakers.
