How to cut to the rhythm of a track you cannot include in the file
Tell Vizard Agent which track you will add in the app and ask for a silent cut paced to it. It looks up the track's published tempo, converts that into a beat grid, builds the edit in exact frame counts against that grid, and delivers a master with no music. When you attach the licensed track in the platform, the cuts land where the beats are.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Tell Vizard Agent that the audio goes on afterwards, in the app, and name the track precisely enough that the right tempo can be looked up. Without that context you get a cut with its own music in it, and stripping that out later leaves an edit paced against a completely different track.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
The tempo is researched rather than measured, because there is no audio file to measure. A track you cannot download still has a published tempo, and that one number is enough to build a grid the real audio will line up with. Beats in seconds accumulate rounding, so the grid is converted to frame numbers. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked the track's published tempo and converted it into a beat grid for the target length: a thirty-two beat, fifteen-second structure for a sports reel.
- Retimed the silent cut onto that grid and locked the action block to an exact frame count.
- Timed the title and proof cards onto beats rather than into gaps, and removed anything unsynced left over from an earlier version.
- Reviewed the storyboard against the intended beat positions, measured the retimed shots and corrected the ones that drifted.
- Delivered a silent master at the exact duration, since anything embedded would be stripped or muted by the platform.
When does this not work well?
This depends on the published tempo being right and the platform starting the track where you expect. A track with a tempo change, a long intro, or a version that differs from the one in the library will not line up, and the fix is to try the attachment and adjust. Live or loose recordings have no steady grid to build on.
Common questions
Why deliver it silent? Because the licensed track is attached in the app, not embedded by you. Vizard Agent delivers a master with no music.
What if the tempo is wrong? Say how it drifted and Vizard Agent rebuilds on a corrected grid.
Can it handle an intro offset? Yes. Tell Vizard Agent where the app starts the track.
