How to get a square version of clips you have already approved
Ask Vizard Agent for the approved clips in another shape. It aligns each delivered cut against the original recording's audio to recover the exact in and out points you signed off, then re-cuts those moments from the full-resolution master, so the new version is a fresh cut, not an upscaled crop.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Make the source explicit. "Give me square versions" is ambiguous in a way that matters: it could reasonably mean cropping what you already have, and the difference between the two readings is the difference between a sharp deliverable and a soft one. Say which approved clips you mean and what must not change.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It doesn't need your edit list, because the delivered files contain the answer. An approved render carries the same audio as the master, just shorter, so lining the two waveforms up tells Vizard Agent which second of the original each clip began and ended on, to the frame. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked what of the project was still on disk and in the cloud, then fetched the master and the approved renders.
- Recovered the exact approved edit points by aligning the audio, and read the price table before committing to the renders.
- Cut the new picture from the full-resolution master and assembled each file with the approved audio, unchanged.
- Checked the new framing on real frames, then checked lip sync against the approved renders, since an alignment a few frames off looks fine on a contact sheet and wrong the moment somebody speaks.
- Compared the new frames with the approved versions side by side and uploaded the finished set.
When does this not work well?
The method depends on the delivered clip and the master sharing an audio track, because that's what Vizard Agent measures against. A replaced voiceover breaks the link, heavy music over the whole cut makes alignment harder, and silent clips can't be aligned at all, so give the timecodes. Without the master, a crop is the only option.
Common questions
Do I need the original project? No. Vizard Agent recovers the edit points from the delivered files.
How accurate is the alignment? Frame-accurate, and Vizard Agent verifies it against the approved render.
Does the audio change? No, by default. Vizard Agent carries the approved mix across untouched.
