How to correct the names and places written on screen in a finished video
Send Vizard Agent the list of corrections in plain sentences. It finds the existing label before rewriting anything, rebuilds only the name tags that are wrong, checks the corrected text at full resolution rather than in a thumbnail, and re-cuts the credit roll when somebody has been left off it.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Write it as facts, numbered. It isn't an edit brief and doesn't need to sound like one: each line of a list of corrections maps onto exactly one thing on screen. You don't need to say where each tag appears or how it's styled, because Vizard Agent finds the existing labels in the video.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It looks up the existing label first, so a correction replaces a specific tag rather than adding a competing one. Rebuilding a tag from your correction alone risks changing its position, size or duration; finding the original means the replacement inherits everything except the words. In the session behind this article it:
- Looked up the existing label on screen in a vertical event vlog, rebuilt the name tags that needed to change and checked them on frames from the render.
- Fixed the specific title and hometown the user identified, and checked the corrected tags again on the new render.
- Added the missing interviewer credit to the ending and re-cut the credit roll around the added line, rebuilding the ending with clearance so the credits fit.
- Checked the credit text fit at full resolution and inspected the credit lines closely for clipped edges.
- Uploaded the corrected version and checked the tags in it.
When does this not work well?
Corrections have to be findable in the first place. Text burnt into supplied footage, rather than added by the edit, can only be covered, not rewritten. A name spoken in the narration is a re-record, not a text change. A longer name may not fit the tag, and names in another script need a typeface that supports them.
Common questions
Do I need timestamps? No. Describe who you mean and Vizard Agent finds the tag.
Will the style change? No. Vizard Agent reuses the existing tag's design.
Can it add someone to the credits? Yes, and Vizard Agent re-cuts the roll to make room.
