How to make a speaker promo for a conference appearance
Upload a clip of yourself and tell Vizard Agent which event you are speaking at. Vizard Agent checks the facts about the event and your credentials, fetches the organisation's logo, grades and levels your footage, builds the graphics in landscape and then reframes the whole thing to vertical.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Give the facts as facts. Vizard Agent grounds the graphics in what it can verify about the event and the speaker, so writing the details out precisely is what keeps a promo about a real conference from carrying a wrong date to exactly the audience that will notice. Write credentials exactly as they should read.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It checks the facts before it writes, and it tests the picture treatment on stills rather than discovering the grade was wrong after a full render. The graphics are built in landscape first and reframed afterwards, so the layout is designed once and both shapes come out of it. In the session behind this article it:
- Probed the video file, transcribed the speech and sampled frames from the footage.
- Checked the facts about the symposium and the speaker rather than repeating the brief blind, and fetched the organisation's logo from its own source.
- Measured the audio level and the loudness of the speech specifically.
- Tested grade options and compared them side by side on stills, then downloaded a music bed and rendered the logo to check it.
- Graded and normalised the base clip, rendered the graphics in landscape, checked the overlay placement and reframed to vertical, delivering 1080x1920 at 30fps and 31.07 seconds.
When does this not work well?
Everything in a speaker promo is checkable by the audience. Vizard Agent verifies what it can find published and repeats what you tell it, so the responsibility for a wrong date or an overstated credential stays with you. Anything unannounced or internal it cannot confirm, and a grade improves colour but cannot fix bad light or a noisy room.
Common questions
Does it check the event details? Vizard Agent checks what is published. Anything unannounced, or wrong in your brief, passes through unchanged.
Can it find the organisation's logo? Yes, from its own site. Tell Vizard Agent if there are brand rules about how it may be used.
Can I get a landscape version too? Yes, and conferences usually want one. The graphics are built wide and reframed, so both come from one layout.
