Images, video, or voiceover: choosing the right output

All three outcomes start from the same idea. How to pick between them, and what each one accepts as input.

Viszy makes three kinds of finished file: an image, a video clip, and a voiceover. You choose the outcome — how it gets made is Viszy's side of the work.

Pick by what you need to hand over

  • An image when the result is going to sit somewhere — a profile picture, a listing photo, a cover, a print. Images render in seconds and are the easiest to iterate.
  • A video when movement or time is the point: a few seconds of motion for a social post, a product turning on a table, a landscape with drifting cloud.
  • A voiceover when the words are the product: narration for a clip, a greeting for a phone system, a spoken version of a short script.

What each outcome accepts as input

OutcomeStart fromAdd a reference image
ImageA description, or a templateYes — upload, camera, or a sketch
VideoA description, or a templateYes — the image can be animated into the clip
VoiceoverA script or a descriptionNo reference image

Speaking works as input for any outcome: say your idea instead of typing it. A sketch, a photo, or a camera capture is a reference for image and video — it is not a separate kind of creation.

Moving between outcomes

An image can become a video explicitly: open the finished image and choose to animate it. That keeps the subject you already approved and adds motion, instead of asking you to describe everything again.

The reverse is not automatic. A video clip does not turn back into a still edit of itself; if you want a still, describe it as an image.

A note on references

A reference image steers, it does not paste. If you upload a photo of a real product, expect the result to resemble it — the framing, background, and light still come from your words. If the reference matters more than the description, say so: "keep the mug exactly as in the photo".

Choosing when you are unsure

Start with the image. It is the fastest to see and the easiest to fix, and once you like the subject, animating it into a short clip is a single step.
