How to put your talking head in a round chat bubble
Ask Vizard Agent to build the chat look from the clean recording rather than over a version that already has titles on it, and to leave real margin around your head inside the circle rather than merely fitting it. It then times the message bubbles to specific spoken lines and checks the chin clearance at full size before delivery.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say margin, not fit. Asking Vizard Agent to make your face fit inside the circle produces a face that fits it exactly, a head touching the rim on three sides, and that is what reads as wrong on a phone. Give it the clean recording too, because titles in an edited version get cut into fragments by the rim.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
How much margin looks right depends on where you sit in the original frame, so Vizard Agent looks at the actual frame rather than applying a percentage. A head that fits looks cramped, while a head with obvious space beneath the chin looks like a chat message, and the difference is a few per cent of scale. In the session behind this article it:
- Rebuilt the look on the clean source, with no previous lines or titles, and checked the round frame and the message animation.
- Checked the speech was continuous and at a steady level, then timed the chat bubbles to specific spoken lines.
- Measured the margin around the face on the frame and scaled the picture down inside the circle three separate times, until the chin had guaranteed clearance.
- Added minimal chat icons, checked they fitted, widened the circle and mixed the music under the voice.
- Checked the final clearance at full size and confirmed the speech ran continuously under the music without being ducked.
When does this not work well?
Some framing can't survive a circle. If you are at the edge of the frame, or the shot is already tight on your face, scaling down enough to get margin means either a small head in a big circle or a visible crop of the background. Busy backgrounds get cut at odd places by the rim, and long messages don't suit bubbles, which need short lines.
Common questions
Why not use the edited version? Because its titles get cut into fragments by the rim. Vizard Agent starts clean.
How much margin is enough? Enough to see space under the chin. Vizard Agent checks the actual frame.
Can the circle be bigger? Yes. Vizard Agent can widen the circle rather than shrinking you.
