How to cut a long corporate film down to a website version
Upload the finished film and tell Vizard Agent the target length. Vizard Agent transcribes it, numbers every spoken segment, works out which sequence still makes the argument, checks the word timings at every join so nothing clips, and removes any watermark before delivering.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
State the constraint, not the cut. Vizard Agent responds to "keep the sense and the logical flow" as a rule that governs every join it makes, which produces a very different result from asking for the best sixty seconds. Name anything mandatory too, like a product name or a call to action.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Cutting a corporate film in half is easy; keeping the argument intact is the job. Vizard Agent treats the narration as a numbered list of statements and chooses a subset that still leads somewhere, then measures every join rather than trusting the segment boundaries, because a cut mid-syllable is obvious to a listener. In the session behind this article it:
- Probed the file, transcribed the audio, reviewed frames across the film including the closing frames, and inspected a crop of the watermark.
- Read the exact word timings and numbered every spoken segment, then analysed the logical structure of the sequence and estimated the running time of the selection.
- Generated a cloned-voice hook for the opening and checked its content and length.
- Sampled frames from every key section, the process steps, the documents, the employee file and the call to action, and reviewed each.
- Located the watermark's exact coordinates and tested two removal methods, comparing the results.
- Built an end card, rendered the selection, then re-checked the word timings at each transition and re-rendered so no join clipped a word. The cut ran 68.96 seconds at 1280x720 and 24fps against a 60 to 90 second brief.
When does this not work well?
A shorter film necessarily says less, and deciding what may be dropped is often a commercial judgement rather than an editorial one. Vizard Agent preserves the argument as it finds it and can't know which claims are contractually required, so name them. Removing a watermark isn't always permitted either; check the source tool's terms.
Common questions
Why not just take the first ninety seconds? Because a corporate film usually front-loads the setup and back-loads the point. Vizard Agent selects the statements that still argue.
Will it keep the original narration? Yes. Vizard Agent selects from what was already said rather than re-recording it.
Can I get several lengths? Yes. Ask for both and each is selected from the same numbered segments.
