How to have a new video edited exactly like your last one
Upload the new footage and point Vizard Agent at the project you want it to match. Vizard Agent opens the earlier delivery, compares the versions to find the one you mean, reads its timeline and text treatments, maps both reels side by side, and rebuilds the same edit on the new material.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Name the project and then the exceptions. Vizard Agent treats the earlier delivery as the specification and your list as the diff, which is far more precise than describing the pacing and the text treatment from memory. If the old project had several versions, say which one you mean.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Once one video has come out right, the next ones should look like it. Describing that edit in words is hopeless, but pointing at the finished file is exact, because the edit is already in it. Vizard Agent reads the delivery and recreates the pacing against its structure. In the session behind this article it:
- Inspected the new reel (1080x1920, 30fps, 78.9 seconds), including the text already on it, and located the previous edit.
- Compared the three earlier delivered versions, the first, the revised and the matching-hook one, to identify the one being referenced.
- Checked the prior project's timeline and exact text treatments, then reviewed the openings of all four: the new reel and each prior edit.
- Loaded the matching text-opening recipe and mapped the full new reel against the reference, so the pacing was recreated rather than eyeballed.
- Built the revised reel and checked the render frame by frame.
- Investigated the silent audio in the first render and fixed it before delivery.
When does this not work well?
Matching an earlier edit only works when the new footage can carry the same structure. A shape built for one recording may not fit another, and a structure that works at eighty seconds may not at thirty. Vizard Agent departs from the reference and tells you so rather than forcing it, and it needs the old delivery, not a description.
Common questions
Do I need the old project file? No. Vizard Agent reads the delivered video itself and works out how it was built.
What if the old project had several versions? Say which. Vizard Agent compares them, but naming it saves a round.
Will the pacing really match? Yes. Vizard Agent maps both timelines rather than approximating the rhythm by feel.
