How to check the dates and prices in your ad actually agree
Give Vizard Agent the facts the ad has to state, such as the date, the price and how many days it runs, and say they must match everywhere. It reads the numbers back off the rendered graphics, has the finished cut verified against them, and re-records the narration when a figure changes.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Give the numbers as a list rather than inside a script. A figure buried in a paragraph of creative direction gets treated as part of the copy. A list of facts gets treated as facts, and everything Vizard Agent builds afterwards refers back to it: the graphics, the narration and the end card.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Checking the script tells you what was meant to be said. Checking the render tells you what a viewer will actually see and hear, and the two diverge whenever a card is rebuilt after the narration was recorded. So Vizard Agent does the checking near the end, on the render. In the session behind this article it:
- Built the title card, the mentor cards and the closing card for an event promo, recorded the narration and measured every segment's level.
- Checked the venue name was readable, read the caption at the moment it was fully visible rather than mid-animation, and checked the day count written on the graphic card.
- Found the narration script, read the lines back and confirmed which voice was used so a re-record would match.
- Re-recorded four lines and updated the price card and the end card, then re-recorded the price line again for its phrasing.
- Had the review tool verify the dates and day counts on the cut, checked the price card and end card dates on real frames, and re-checked the price section after re-assembling.
When does this not work well?
Verification confirms internal consistency and nothing more. Vizard Agent can't tell you whether the facts you supplied were right in the first place, so a wrong fact in the brief is reproduced faithfully. It can't read back a figure the render never makes legible, and numbers that exist only in speech have nothing on screen to check against.
Common questions
Why check the render and not the script? Because the render is what ships, and cards get rebuilt after narration is recorded.
What if a price changes late? Vizard Agent updates the card, re-records the line and re-checks both.
Will it fix a wrong fact? No. Vizard Agent checks consistency, not truth. The facts are yours.
