How to fix an ad where the product was never shown
Tell Vizard Agent what the ad never actually shows. It goes back to the sources it has, usually your own landing page, hunts down a clean shot of the missing thing, crops it away from the surrounding text, turns it into a moving insert and cuts it into the existing ad rather than starting over.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Describe what is missing in terms of what a customer would look for. "She never shows the bag" is a much better instruction than "add more product shots", because it names the specific absence and tells Vizard Agent exactly what it is hunting for. Point it at a source too, which is nearly always your own product page.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Most of the work is a search. A landing page screenshot is often twenty thousand pixels tall, so finding one product photo means slicing it into readable strips and looking until the right one appears. Then the crop has to be cleaned, because web photography nearly always has a headline or a price sitting on top of it. In the session behind this article it:
- Reviewed the delivered cut against what the user said was missing: the box and the spoon were there, the product bag never was.
- Stitched sections of a very tall landing page screenshot into readable strips and inspected them, locating the product shot on the second attempt.
- Cropped the product image out of the page, read the crop back to check the margins, refined it to remove text sitting over it, and verified the result.
- Built a slow moving insert from the still and recompiled the ad with it over the existing edit, boosting the speaker's level at the same time.
- Extracted check frames to confirm the insert landed correctly at the moment the voiceover talks about the product.
When does this not work well?
Everything depends on a usable picture of the product existing somewhere. Where it does not, the honest options are to shoot one or to generate one, and generating a product shot for an ad is a decision to make deliberately. Lifestyle shots that never show it clearly, low-resolution web images and outdated packaging cause trouble too, and a still insert cannot show a mechanism.
Common questions
Can it use my product page? Yes. That is usually where Vizard Agent finds the shot.
Will it generate a product shot? Only if you ask Vizard Agent to. For ads, your own photography is safer.
Does the voiceover change? No. Vizard Agent works over the existing edit.
