How to clip a stream that shows two games at once
Tell Vizard Agent that the layout holds more than one game pane. Every clip then has to answer an extra question: which table was this reaction to? Getting that wrong produces a clip where someone celebrates over a hand the viewer can see they lost.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Describe the layout and the structure you want each clip to have. If a clip must run from the situation at the table to the reaction, the table has to be the one where that happened. Say what isn't a reaction too: the brief behind this article ruled out loud music and donation alerts.
Make up to five vertical clips from this poker stream. The source shows two tables and my camera at once. Take that into account. Each clip should run from the situation at the table through to my reaction.
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It builds a map of the screen before it looks for moments. Full-size frames give the exact boundaries of the left table, the right table and the camera window, and a scene-change map shows where the layout itself shifts. Then Vizard Agent matches each moment to its table. In the session behind this article it:
- Transcribed the speech with timings and mapped the scene changes and the screen layout together.
- Pulled full frames to fix where the face, the left table and the right table actually sat.
- Found candidate emotional moments in the transcript and confirmed each one's table individually, re-checking one at the end because the reaction didn't obviously match the table on screen.
- Checked whether the table switched mid-hand, and moved a clip to the left table once it confirmed one hand stayed there.
- Cropped the camera tightly on face and shoulders, removing the camera window's own border and logo, and levelled the audio on the speech sections rather than the whole clip.
When does this not work well?
When the action is genuinely split. A hand on one table and a reaction partly about the other can't be shown as one pane, so the options are two panes, a wider crop or leaving the moment out. A layout that changes often means more re-measuring than clipping, and cards unreadable at phone size can't be rescued.
Common questions
How does it know which table? Vizard Agent checks the moment against both panes rather than assuming the nearest one.
Can it show both tables? Yes, in a stacked layout, though each gets less height. Vizard Agent will show you the trade.
Why measure only the speech? Because the silences drag the average down, so Vizard Agent would otherwise leave the voice too quiet.
