How to cut a video sales letter from footage you already have
Upload your raw videos and tell Vizard Agent you want a video sales letter. Vizard Agent transcribes the footage, finds the sections that carry the argument, marks the frame with a coordinate grid before placing any text, and cuts a VSL that moves through problem, proof and offer.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Name the format explicitly rather than describing what you want the video to feel like. Both "VSL" and "video sales letter" tell Vizard Agent to build toward a call to action rather than toward a highlight reel, and that single word changes which parts of your footage get selected. Then say what the viewer should do at the end.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A video sales letter is a structure, not a style: problem, proof, then the ask, and the footage you already shot usually contains all three in the wrong order. The step people don't expect is the coordinate grid. Before placing a single word on screen, Vizard Agent marks the frame so text lands where it is meant to. In the session behind this article it:
- Downloaded four raw videos, transcribed them and read what was actually said across all of them.
- Checked the available voices, music and caption styles, then generated the narration, using a cloned voice for the scene that needed to sound like the creator.
- Extracted frames, marked them with a coordinate grid and read the grid to plan the on-screen layout, so no text sat over a face or off the safe area.
- Built panels of the candidate B-roll and reviewed them by eye to choose the shots.
- Measured the narration's loudness, cut the scenes against word-level timings with captions and music, then watched it back and checked the tone transition held. The result ran 1080x1920, 30fps and 54.47 seconds.
When does this not work well?
A VSL asks the viewer for something, which makes it harder to get right than a highlight reel. A weak offer stays weak, and the proof has to exist in the footage: if you never said it, Vizard Agent cannot find it. Under a minute, the proof in the middle gets compressed hard. Only clone a voice you are entitled to use.
Common questions
What is a VSL? A video sales letter: problem, proof, then offer. Vizard Agent builds toward the ask rather than toward a montage.
Do I need to write the script? No. Vizard Agent reads what you already said on camera and builds the narration around it.
How long should a VSL be? Under a minute as an ad, several minutes on a landing page. Say which and Vizard Agent adapts the structure.
