Visla Video Creation + 5 AI Marketing Tools to Boost Your Efficiency

Introduction

Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to the second session of our summer camp series. Today, we're diving into a fascinating video creation tool called Vizla, and along with my colleague Kristen, we've found five AI tools that we think will revolutionize your marketing workflow.

Why We're Doing This Webinar Series

Before we jump into our main content, I want to clarify why we’re doing this series. As marketers, I know how challenging it can be to find practical, actionable information on AI tools. Often, webinars delve into theoretical discussions about AI’s future rather than offering useful steps you can implement today. We aim to remedy that by showcasing hands-on tools and specific use cases that can benefit you immediately.

Introduction

My name is Lissa Begood, Head of Marketing at Portrait Media, and joining me today is my lovely colleague, Kristen Jones. Kristen: Thanks for having me, Lissa. I’m super excited to be here.

The Importance of Video

The first point to cover is why video is crucial today. Video content significantly elevates your website’s ranking, something those in the SEO world are quite familiar with. YouTube, one of the strongest search engines, also plays a major role here. Short-form content like TikTok videos and YouTube Shorts are gaining massive traction, and marketers need to adapt to these ongoing changes. The introduction of Google’s AI overview is another important point, which potentially alters the SEO landscape.

Introducing Vizla

One platform I've found to be exceptionally useful for video creation is Vizla. This AI-powered tool allows you to create short videos in mere minutes, perfect for summarizing written content. Although not affiliated with Vizla, I highly recommend its simplicity and effectiveness.

Vizla Features and Benefits

• Create Video Screen: The initial user interface is straightforward. You click on 'Create Video' and get started.
• Options for Content: You can either describe what the video should entail, insert a URL, or input your script directly into the platform.
  • Description Method: You input a description and get a 75% halfway-done video, which you can edit to perfection.
  • URL Method: Paste a URL, and Vizla will generate content based on the webpage. It’s quick but sometimes hits or misses, depending on the length of the source content.
  • Script Input: My preferred method is copying a blog section, summarizing it via ChatGPT, and then feeding that to Vizla.

Advanced Editing Features

Once you have a draft, you can edit texts, regenerate voiceovers, and customize visuals quite easily using a user-friendly, intuitive interface. Vizla supports different voice options and extensive B-footage (stock videos) selections to make your content as dynamic as possible.
