How to make a school assignment video with a cited source card
Upload your recording and tell Vizard Agent the topic and that you need a cited source at the end. Vizard Agent transcribes what was said, finds a suitable title treatment, looks up the source text, installs a typeface that supports its script, and closes the video on a legible citation card.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Ask for the title and the source card in the same request. Vizard Agent handles them as one job, a matching opening and closing treatment, rather than as two separate additions that look like they came from different videos. Know which source your teacher expects, because a citation card is only useful if it points at the right thing.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A coursework video is usually a phone recording of a demonstration, and what it lacks is framing: a proper title at the front and a cited source at the end. Vizard Agent leaves the recording untouched and builds that framing around it, checking first that the citation's script can actually render. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked the video's duration, size and sample frames, looked at a storyboard of the clips, and transcribed what was said with timestamps.
- Confirmed the actions and the speech in each scene, then fetched the source text and its attribution for the closing card.
- Loaded a calm opening suited to coursework and searched for a title typeface.
- Found an alternative reference that could be read directly, then looked for a typeface that supported its script, since a missing font renders as empty boxes.
- Checked the text safe area and colours on the frame, reviewed the title and the citation card, rendered, and pulled QC frames and a waveform to review.
- Delivered 36.27 seconds at the phone's own 3840x2160 and 59.94fps.
When does this not work well?
The citation is yours to verify: Vizard Agent looks the text up but can't vouch that it's the right source for your assignment. Bright footage fights text, and a safe area helps without guaranteeing contrast. Vertical phone video is narrow, so long citations wrap awkwardly. And a poor recording stays poor, because titles don't fix audio or focus.
Common questions
Can Vizard Agent find the source for me? Vizard Agent can look one up, and you should check it is the reference your course expects.
Will non-Latin text render properly? Yes. Vizard Agent looks for a typeface that supports the script before rendering the card.
Does it change my recording? No. Vizard Agent adds the title, the markers and the card around what you filmed.
