How to rebuild a landscape promo as a real vertical instead of cropping it
Tell Vizard Agent you want the promo rebuilt for vertical rather than reframed. It extracts the original words out of the source as high-resolution images, so the typeface is the real one rather than an approximation. It measures every card and panel, then re-lays the whole design for the taller frame against the existing voiceover.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say "not a crop" explicitly and early. Reframing is the reasonable default reading of this request for Vizard Agent, and it's exactly what you're trying to avoid. Those words separate a genuine rebuild from a squeeze. Say the voiceover timing must be kept too, because it's the spine everything hangs on.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
The obvious move is to identify the font and retype the words, but the nearest installed font is never quite it, so every line looks subtly wrong. Vizard Agent lifts the rendered words out of the source instead, keeping the real typeface, weight and letter-spacing, then measures the layout and rebuilds it for the taller frame. In the session behind this article it:
- Pulled detailed frames from the software promo and reviewed each section: the logo reveal, the diagram and the cards.
- Cropped text samples and compared them with the installed fonts, then extracted the words as high-resolution images instead.
- Tuned the keying, checked the white text against the coloured backgrounds, and re-extracted pieces clipped by a wipe from a clean frame before the animation started.
- Mapped where each text block sat in every scene and measured the cards, the diagram and the panels, including one card's true right edge where the crop was ambiguous.
- Rendered still previews of every scene in the new layout, re-rendered them after adjustments and added shadows.
- Reviewed the whole cut frame by frame against the source and verified the fixed transitions before delivering.
When does this not work well?
The method depends on a source render clean enough to lift elements out of. Heavy compression carries artifacts into the extracted text, text over moving footage leaves nothing clean to key against, and very wide diagrams may have no tall arrangement. A voiceover written to wide visuals may not fit the new order, and if you have the project file, rebuilding it there is easier.
Common questions
Why not just crop it? Because text set for a wide frame becomes unreadable, and diagrams lose half their width.
Do I need the project file? No. Vizard Agent rebuilds from the rendered video.
How does it get the font right? It does not match the font. Vizard Agent lifts the rendered words themselves.
