How to put your text over the footage instead of in a panel beside it
Send Vizard Agent a screenshot of the layout you want and say the video should fill the frame. It studies the scale and position of the text in your reference and the strip beneath it, rebuilds the layout with the footage full frame and the type over it, and checks the headline clears after its moment so the action is never covered.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Rule out the panel explicitly. "Add a headline" is most safely satisfied by giving the headline its own space, so the request that gets you the layout you want says the picture keeps the whole frame. Send Vizard Agent a screenshot too, because type size and position are quantities rather than adjectives.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A reference is usually looked at for its colours and wording, but what makes these layouts work is the scale of the type against the frame, and that only shows when somebody measures it. A headline over full-frame footage covers the picture by definition, so Vizard Agent also checks that it leaves cleanly. In the session behind this article it:
- Sampled the recording, picked the strongest sequences for ten vertical clips, and confirmed the subject stayed visible in the crop.
- Added text hooks without touching the audio, checked placement and line wrapping on each opening frame, and confirmed the text cleared after its window.
- Corrected an overlay that did not fit inside the vertical frame.
- Compared placement and spacing against the reference images, identified the exact brand colour treatment, and built branded panels with protected space above the footage.
- Studied a new reference's full-frame treatment and oversized type, then rebuilt the clips as full-frame overlays with oversized headlines and a rounded strip.
- Checked the headline's scale and contrast at the opening and confirmed the result matched the reference composition.
When does this not work well?
Text laid over picture needs both contrast and space to survive. Footage that is bright and busy where the headline sits, or a subject who moves through that area, will fight the text however large Vizard Agent sets it. Long headlines in oversized type run out of frame, very short clips leave no time for the text to arrive and clear, and some strict brand layouts require the panel.
Common questions
Can it match a screenshot? Yes. Vizard Agent measures the placement and scale from it.
How big should the headline be? Bigger than feels right. Vizard Agent takes it from the reference.
What if my subject is where the text goes? Say so and Vizard Agent moves the text.
