How to make an animated video from your own character art
Upload your character art and your logo to Vizard Agent and say what you want them to do. Vizard Agent builds a combined reference sheet so both characters stay themselves, casts a voice for each and listens back, checks and trims your logo properly, and animates the scenes with the mark in the corner you asked for.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Name the characters and describe what should happen to them. Vizard Agent looks at your art rather than needing it described back, so your words are better spent on behaviour, energy and the joke than on appearance. Say where the logo goes, and describe how each character sounds.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
With drawn characters, the hard part is not the animation. It is that generated video forgets what your characters look like between shots, so Vizard Agent locks them into one reference the whole video is built against. A surprising amount of early work goes on the logo, because it sits in every frame. In the session behind this article it:
- Opened each attached image, loaded the film playbook rather than improvising a structure, and downloaded the character art and the logo.
- Checked whether the logo actually had transparency, because a logo saved as a PNG often has a solid box behind it.
- Built a combined character reference, trimmed the logo to its real edges, cropped it tightly and tested it over white.
- Generated the character sheet from that reference and cast both voices in one pass, then listened back and checked clip lengths before animating anything.
- Delivered a wide 48.04-second video (1920x1080, 24fps) with both characters voiced and animated from the user's art and the logo in the corner throughout.
When does this not work well?
Generated animation is strongest in short bursts and weakest across long continuous action. Every scene is anchored to the reference sheet, but a character with intricate details will still shift a little between shots. A patterned shirt or a complicated hat drifts first, hands and props strain, and a low-resolution logo cannot be rescued.
Common questions
How many images do I need per character? One clean image each is enough. More angles help Vizard Agent hold the likeness across scenes.
Will my logo stay sharp? Vizard Agent trims it to its real edges and tests it against a background before compositing.
Can I make a series with these characters? Yes. Keep them in one project and Vizard Agent matches the look and voices next time.
