How to find the diagrams a talk keeps coming back to
Give Vizard Agent the recording and say what makes a visual matter: held on screen for a long stretch, or returned to several times until it adds up. It sweeps the whole talk for both patterns, then reads the labels and relationships on the diagrams that qualify, so you get what is on them rather than just when they appeared.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Give Vizard Agent both conditions rather than one. "The important slides" has no definition anybody can act on. Naming a hold time and saying that repeated returns count too describes exactly two patterns, and both can be measured across a whole recording. The threshold doesn't have to be exact; stating one turns a vague request into a search with an answer.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
In a long talk the important diagram is the one the speaker can't leave alone, and that shows up as time. The survey covers the whole file rather than sampling it: a visual held for forty seconds shows up in almost any sample, but one shown for fifteen seconds on three occasions won't. In the session behind this article it:
- Sampled frames across a long recording and checked its duration and audio, to confirm the source was intact before measuring anything on it.
- Reviewed the frames across the full length and checked the options for a targeted visual search for held images.
- Surveyed the whole recording for sustained or repeated explanatory visuals.
- Analysed the qualifying windows for readable labels and relationships.
- Reported each window with its times on screen, whether it qualified by a long hold or by repeated returns, and what the diagram actually shows.
When does this not work well?
The measure is time on screen, which is a proxy for importance and not the same thing. A speaker who leaves one slide up while talking about something else produces a false positive, and a crucial diagram flashed once will be missed. Slides that all look alike make returns hard to tell apart, and very low resolution leaves labels unreadable.
Common questions
Can I set my own threshold? Yes, and you should. Vizard Agent measures against it.
Will it tell me what is on the diagram? Yes. Vizard Agent reads the labels and how they relate.
Why measure time rather than pick the important ones? Because "important" varies with who is asking, while time on screen is a fact Vizard Agent can measure and you can check.
