    A Simplified Alternative That Keeps One Look Across Every Format

    Set the look once. It carries across video, carousel and captions.

    Simplified's pitch is breadth in one workspace — design templates, a basic video editor and a social scheduler — so a small team isn't paying for three separate subscriptions. Versely's breadth runs through a saved brand kit instead of a template library: set a look once and it's auto-applied across whichever format gets generated next, video, carousel or caption, rather than reapplied by hand each time.

    How that one saved kit reaches every format is below.

    One brand kit, several formats

    set_brand_kit writes several fields in one call — caption_style, colors, fonts, logo_url, tagline, voice_tone, default_aspect_ratio — and the tool's own description confirms the saved kit gets pulled into context automatically from then on, so a generation doesn't need the same look restated every time.

    Because it merges rather than overwrites (colors and fonts combine by key instead of being replaced wholesale), updating just the caption style leaves the logo, the tagline and the tone exactly as they were.

    Carousels built the same way as video

    create_slideshow (from a prompt) or create_slideshow_from_uploaded_images (from your own photos) generate the slide set, and add_text_overlay stamps captions across every slide — either one line auto-expanded to all of them, or a distinct line per slide — so a carousel's on-screen text follows the same brand rules a video's captions do.

    Caption presets, not a handful of template fonts

    The caption system behind that consistency spans 45 presets across 9 style families. classic is the all-purpose look for talking-head and voiceover content; paper is the highest-contrast option for dense, text-heavy slides; headline reads like a title card for hooks and openers. Once a family and variant are picked, set_brand_kit is what makes the choice stick across future generations instead of being re-picked per post.

    From carousel to video without rebuilding it

    convert_slideshow_to_video renders an existing slideshow into a video with transitions, and — when use_edited_images is set — the overlaid captions carry over rather than the bare originals, so one asset becomes another without redesigning it from scratch in a second format.

    How it works

    1. 1. Save the brand kit once

      Caption style, colors, fonts, logo and default aspect ratio, in one set_brand_kit call.

    2. 2. Generate in whatever format the job needs

      A video, a prompt-based slideshow, or a carousel built from your own photos.

    3. 3. The kit applies itself

      Pulled into context automatically, so the same look shows up without re-specifying it.

    4. 4. Convert between formats without rebuilding

      Turn a slideshow into a video and keep its overlaid captions with use_edited_images.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does Versely compare to Simplified?+

    Versely covers the same breadth — design-style output across video, carousel and captions — through set_brand_kit, which stores a caption style, colors, fonts and logo once and auto-applies them to future generations, plus create_slideshow / create_slideshow_from_uploaded_images and convert_slideshow_to_video for moving between carousel and video formats without rebuilding the design.

    Does saving a new caption style wipe the rest of my brand kit?+

    No — set_brand_kit only updates the fields it's given, and colors and fonts merge by key rather than being replaced wholesale, so a field saved earlier stays unless it's explicitly cleared.

    Can each slide in a carousel have its own caption?+

    Yes — add_text_overlay takes either one overlay (auto-expanded to every slide) or a distinct line per slide, matching the image count.

    Can a carousel become a video without redesigning it?+

    Yes — convert_slideshow_to_video renders the existing slideshow into a video, and use_edited_images carries the overlaid captions over rather than reverting to the bare originals.
