How to edit a recorded lecture to a written spec
Upload your lecture recordings to Vizard Agent and paste the technical specification you work to. Vizard Agent reads the spec as instructions rather than context, transcribes every clip, checks how the previous lecture in the series was delivered, and edits this one to match both the document and the house style.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Paste the whole document. It reads as too long for a prompt and it is not: every line of a spec is a constraint, and Vizard Agent applies constraints it can read far more reliably than ones it has to infer from a sentence. The details you would trim as boilerplate, such as platform, audience and caption placement, are what decide the edit.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It gathers everything before it decides anything. The previous delivery and every transcript are collected before a single edit decision is made, because matching the last lecture is what keeps a series looking like a series, and a sideways clip found at export time quietly ruins a lecture edit. In the session behind this article it:
- Read the project's own record of what had been delivered before, and probed all five source clips for their technical properties.
- Downloaded the clips and the previous delivered lecture, and sampled frames from every clip and from the previous final.
- Loaded its talking-head guidance rather than improvising, checked the transcription and caption tool options, then transcribed all five clips.
- Inspected the previous delivery's look so this one would match it.
- Checked the rotation on a sideways clip and compared rotated versions to find the right orientation.
When does this not work well?
The failure mode is a spec that is not really a spec. Vizard Agent applies what is written, and where the document is silent it makes a reasonable choice, which is not the same as your house style. Rules your editor "just knows" get missed, audio problems need naming, and replacing a word in the audio works while rewriting a paragraph needs re-voicing.
Common questions
Do I have to paste the whole specification? It is better if you do. Vizard Agent applies written constraints more reliably than described ones.
Can it pick between multiple takes? Yes. Vizard Agent transcribes every clip, so it can compare what was said as well as how it looked.
Will lecture forty look like lecture one? If they are in the same project, yes. Vizard Agent checks the previous delivery each time.
