How to show a product's dimensions and fittings on video
Upload your clips and list the details buyers keep asking about. Vizard Agent checks each clip's rotation, extracts frames second by second to find the moments that actually show the measurement and the fixings, and cuts them into a video that answers the questions in order.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
List the details as facts rather than as shots. Vizard Agent searches the footage for the moments that demonstrate each one, so "show the 40cm length" and "show the three mounting holes" tell it what to look for far better than a shot list would. Say which detail opens the video.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A listing video has a duller and more useful job than most product videos: showing how long the thing is, where the screws go and what it looks like on the wall. A measurement is visible for perhaps two seconds in a two-minute clip, so per-second frames are how that moment gets found. In the session behind this article it:
- Downloaded ten clips, checked the metadata of every one and extracted frames to see what was in each.
- Checked the orientation and rotation of every clip before building anything, because phone footage of a product on a bench is often recorded sideways.
- Built vertical preview contact sheets, reviewed clips one to five and then six to ten, and checked the audio levels across the sources.
- Extracted detailed frames second by second from each clip to locate the moments showing the measurement and the fixings.
- Read the combined contact sheets in three batches, then built the sequence.
- Delivered a vertical 478x850, 30fps cut of 16.33 seconds: the product first, then the length against a measure, the fixing holes and the finished installation.
When does this not work well?
A video that demonstrates facts can only demonstrate what was actually filmed. No measurement shot means no measurement, and a number on screen persuades less than a length seen against something. Short videos hold few facts, about four details at twenty seconds. Vizard Agent reports the gaps rather than papering over them with a caption.
Common questions
Do I need a tape measure in shot? It helps enormously. Vizard Agent can add numbers, but a number on screen persuades less than a measurement.
What if a clip is sideways? Vizard Agent checks the rotation metadata of every clip before it builds anything.
What should I film next time? The measurement against a rule, the fixings close up, and the item installed and in use. Vizard Agent can only find what the camera captured.
