How to make a reveal video that asks kids to comment
Write the beats second by second and tell Vizard Agent what the audience is being asked to choose. Vizard Agent casts a cheerful narrator, generates every scene, builds bold overlay badges for the choices, and paces the cut so the question has room to be answered before the reveal.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Write it as a timed script with the prompt included. Vizard Agent uses the timings to pace the pause and the badges to display the options, so a beat sheet that says exactly when the question lands is doing the most important part of the design. In this format the pause length is a decision, not an accident.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A reveal video for a children's channel is engineered around one pause. The narrator asks which one to open, the video holds long enough for someone to comment, and then it opens. Vizard Agent builds everything, watches it back as frames, and rebuilds whatever doesn't hold up before delivering. In the session behind this article it:
- Searched for a cheerful narrator voice, then generated all the narration, the music and the sound effects in one pass.
- Generated the visual scenes in two batches and reviewed them as a contact sheet.
- Transcribed the narration with word-level timestamps, built the animated captions from it, and measured every audio stem in LUFS to check speech against music.
- Created the graphic overlay badges and reviewed them as a preview set.
- Rendered and assembled the video, reviewed the frames, then regenerated the captions bolder and re-rendered the shots with refined animations and transitions.
- Delivered exactly 40.0 seconds at 1080x1920, the working length for this format.
When does this not work well?
Content made for children carries obligations that content for adults does not, and asking children to comment needs the most thought. Platform rules on kids' content and comments vary and are strict, open comments invite moderation work, and engagement mechanics aimed at children are scrutinised. Everything on screen is generated, so don't imply a real toy or a brand relationship.
Common questions
Do I need any props or footage? No. Vizard Agent generates every scene in the video from your beat sheet.
How long should the pause be? Long enough to read the question and comment. Specify it in the beats rather than leaving it to the edit.
Why do the captions need to be so bold? This content is usually watched at arm's length on a shared screen. Vizard Agent regenerated them bolder after reviewing the frames.
