# Videos (VSL)

> Turn your VSL scripts into slide-based video presentations

Videos (VSL) transforms a completed VSL script from the Write module into a slide-based video presentation. You select a script, review the generated slides, optionally edit the headlines, and then generate the final presentation.

<Note>
  You need at least one completed **VSL script** in [Write > Scripts](/modules/write/scripts) before you can create a VSL project. If none exist, the page will link you to create one.
</Note>

## How to create a VSL

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Create > Videos">
    Open the **Create** module from the sidebar and select **Videos**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New VSL Project">
    Click the **New VSL Project** button in the top right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a script">
    Choose a completed VSL script from the **Select Script** dropdown. If the script has multiple variations, a second dropdown appears to choose which variation to use.

    A **Script Preview** section shows the full script content organized by sections: Hook, Introduction, Filter, Contrast, Entice, Inspire, Teach, Offer, Clarify, and Direct.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Generate VSL">
    Click **Generate VSL** at the bottom right. The system creates a project and begins generating slide content. You'll see a success toast and be redirected to the project list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View and edit slides">
    Once slide content generation completes, open the project to see mockup slides. You can:

    * Click **Edit** to modify slide headlines inline
    * Click **Save Changes** to keep your edits
    * Navigate between slides using the arrow buttons or the slide counter
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the final presentation">
    Click **Generate VSL** on the project detail page. The system creates the final slide presentation. A progress bar shows the current step and percentage.

    You can also re-edit a completed project — click **Edit**, update the headlines, then click **Generate VSL** again to regenerate the presentation with your changes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How to manage VSL projects

* **Search** projects by title
* **Edit** a project by clicking on it
* **Fullscreen** — on a completed project, click **Fullscreen** to open the presentation in a new tab
* **Delete** a project from the list (click the delete icon) or from inside the project (scroll to **Danger Zone**)
* Projects that are currently generating cannot be opened or deleted

## Sharing a completed VSL

Once your VSL is complete, you can share it:

1. Open the completed project
2. In the **Sharing** section, click **Make Public** to generate a shareable link
3. Copy the link or open it in a new tab
4. Click **Make Private** to revoke public access

## Project statuses

| Status     | Meaning                                                                         |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Draft      | Slides content is ready for review and editing                                  |
| Processing | Generating slide content, creating slides, or generating audio (animated badge) |
| Completed  | Final presentation is ready to view and share                                   |
| Failed     | Something went wrong — click **Retry** to try again                             |

## VSL script sections

Each VSL script is organized into these sections (shown in the Script Preview):

| Section      | Purpose                                    |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| Hook         | Grab attention in the first few seconds    |
| Introduction | Set the stage and introduce the topic      |
| Filter       | Qualify the viewer — who this is for       |
| Contrast     | Show the problem vs. the desired outcome   |
| Entice       | Build desire for the solution              |
| Inspire      | Motivate with proof or vision              |
| Teach        | Deliver value and build trust              |
| Offer        | Present the care plan or product           |
| Clarify      | Address objections and remove doubt        |
| Direct       | Call to action — tell them what to do next |

## Tips

* **Review the mockup slides before generating.** Edit headlines to make sure the messaging is right before creating the final presentation.
* **Use the Script Preview.** Check that the script content looks correct before generating — the slides are built directly from it.
* **Share completed VSLs.** Use the public link to embed the presentation in your funnels or landing pages.

## What to do next

Build funnels and landing pages in [Build](/modules/build).
