How to fix text that gets cut off at the edge of the frame
Quote the words that are getting clipped and tell Vizard Agent what must stay the same. Vizard Agent crops each element out of the existing artwork, trims it to its exact bounds, measures where everything actually sits, and rebuilds the layout so nothing runs past the edge.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Quote the clipped text item by item. Vizard Agent matches your quotes against what it finds in the artwork, which is precise in a way that "the taglines are cut off" is not, especially across a set where each piece is clipped differently. Then say what must stay: the layout, the typefaces and the colours.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Text that runs off the frame is an accident that happened at render time, and fixing it means knowing exactly how wide each element really is. That is a measurement rather than a judgement, so Vizard Agent trims each element to its actual boundaries before it rebuilds anything. In the session behind this article it:
- Looked at each piece of a set of clipped graphics in turn and downloaded the artwork files to work on locally.
- Cropped the logo and the title out of the artwork and checked both crops.
- Cropped the full title, checked it, and trimmed it to its exact bounds, because a rough crop still carries invisible padding and puts the layout against the wrong edges.
- Verified the trimmed element and checked which typefaces were available.
- Generated the reference sheets and rebuilt the pieces from the measured components, with the layout, typefaces and colours left as approved.
When does this not work well?
Rebuilding a layout out of a rendered file works up to a point, and beyond it some faults need the original design project. Long text may not fit at all, and sometimes the words have to change. Matching a typeface is approximate when the exact font is not installed, and moving text reveals whatever background it was covering.
Common questions
Do I need the original design file? No. Vizard Agent works directly from the rendered artwork you already have.
Will the rest of the design change? No. Vizard Agent preserves the layout, typefaces and colours you already approved.
What if the text simply will not fit? Vizard Agent will say so plainly. At that point the wording itself has to shorten.
