How to make a launch teaser for a live show
Upload clips of your performances and tell Vizard Agent it is a teaser for an upcoming show. Vizard Agent logs every clip, transcribes them, reads your previous promos for the look, fetches the date and venue from the ticket listing, and cuts a reel that ends on where to buy.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say the show details and point at the listing. Vizard Agent treats the listing as the authority on the facts, and pointing at your earlier promos is what stops the teaser looking like it belongs to somebody else's show. Say it's a launch teaser, not a recap: there's no footage of the event yet, so the reel is built from what you've done before.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
The reel has to end with a date, a place and a way to buy, and a teaser with the wrong date on it is worse than no teaser. So Vizard Agent doesn't take the facts from the brief. It goes to the ticketing page and reads them there, which catches the error before it's published. In the session behind this article it:
- Read the past project files and finals, loaded the trailer playbook and probed all four uploaded videos.
- Tiled sample frames from every clip into contact sheets, logged the shots in all four and reviewed each by eye, from vertical performance frames to a landscape clip.
- Transcribed everything: the anthem, the poetry, the standup and the reference material.
- Pulled the previous promo and the brand images, searched for the show's details and built a promo sheet and brand thumbnails.
- Fetched the show details from the ticketing listing, reviewed the previous promo's frames and every brand image, then cut the teaser.
- Delivered 23.63 seconds of vertical video at the source clips' own 396x858, HEVC at 60fps, closing on the date, the venue and where to book.
When does this not work well?
A teaser is built entirely from material that already exists, so if the performance clips are poor there's nothing else for Vizard Agent to show. Phone audio from a back-of-room clip is what it is, a first show has nothing to draw on, small source files stay small, and venues move dates, so the listing has to be current.
Common questions
