How to make an introduction video for a subject you only named
Give Vizard Agent a name and a length. Vizard Agent researches what the subject actually is, sources footage for it, generates titles and assembles a ten-second introduction. When the sourced shots do not show the real thing convincingly, it generates the missing footage rather than settling for an approximation.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
A single line genuinely works. Vizard Agent researches the subject, decides what needs to be shown, sources or generates it and writes the titles, so the brief only needs to grow if the name is ambiguous or you want a particular angle. A word of context, such as "it is a restaurant", removes the only real risk.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Sometimes the whole brief is a name and a duration. That is enough, provided the first step is finding out what the name refers to, because a video built on the wrong reading of a subject is wrong in every frame. Vizard Agent also refuses a stock clip that does not show the real thing. In the session behind this article it:
- Searched for information about the subject, then refined the search to establish whether it was a person, a place or something else.
- Searched for high-quality footage of the subject and its context, and downloaded the selected clips, including one to match the others' shape.
- Generated the title graphics, then regenerated them with transparency and in the right aspect ratio.
- Assembled the clips, overlays and music, then sampled frames across the whole clip rather than checking the opening, which is how a weak shot was caught.
- Judged that one clip did not genuinely show the subject, generated a replacement when the library had nothing true enough, reordered the sequence and delivered 12.5 seconds at 1920x1080, 30fps.
When does this not work well?
Ten seconds about a named subject depends on getting the subject right and finding footage that genuinely shows it. An ambiguous name is a real risk, stock usually shows the category rather than the specific thing, and research can be wrong, so check anything factual. For your own restaurant or shop, film it: nothing sourced is your place.
Common questions
Do I need to explain what the subject is? Not usually. Vizard Agent researches it, and a word of context helps when the name is ambiguous.
What if there is no good stock footage? Vizard Agent generates the missing shot rather than using a clip that does not show the real thing.
Can it use my own footage? Yes, and it prefers it. Vizard Agent builds around your material and sources only what is missing.
