How to make a video from only your own footage with nothing added
Upload your footage and tell Vizard Agent that no generated shots, stock clips, images or B-roll may be added. Vizard Agent works entirely within what you filmed, improving the pacing and adding a voiceover and captions, and leaves every frame of picture as something you actually shot.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
State the prohibition before the request. Vizard Agent otherwise reaches for stock or generated shots wherever your footage runs thin, which is usually helpful and is exactly what you are ruling out here, so the constraint has to come first. Give the voiceover script word for word if you have one.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Once the rule is stated, what you upload is the entire visual budget, so the work goes into the voice, the captions and the pacing. A generated voice that reads fine on the first listen often sounds artificial next to two alternatives, and generating three costs almost nothing compared with delivering the wrong one. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked the uploaded video's details, inspected the frames, checked the original's audio levels and analysed the footage's content.
- Searched for natural conversational voices in the right language, generated the voiceover, then generated alternatives for comparison.
- Evaluated the options for tone, naturalness and clarity before picking one, then trimmed its silence and pulled word-level timings.
- Checked the available typefaces and downloaded the ones the language needed.
- Searched and evaluated background music, verified the video's true dimensions after rotation and cut to the word timings. The result ran 8.23 seconds, every frame from the uploader's own camera.
When does this not work well?
Ruling out everything except your own footage puts real limits on what any editor can do. Vizard Agent will hit those limits and say so rather than quietly adding the one shot that would fix the problem. Short footage means a short video, a missing shot stays missing, and poor footage can't be replaced. Voice and music are still generated unless you prohibit those too.
Common questions
Does this really mean nothing is added? Nothing visual. Vizard Agent uses only frames you filmed once the constraint is stated.
What if my footage is too short? Then the video is short. Vizard Agent will not pad it with anything you did not shoot.
Can I ban generated audio too? Yes. Say so and Vizard Agent works with the original sound instead.
