How to show the article you are citing on screen
Paste your script, link the article you are citing, and ask for it on screen. Vizard Agent opens the page, screenshots it, checks the screenshot is legible, and builds an animated card from the real headline so viewers see the source rather than being asked to take your word for it.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say "showcase" or "show it on screen" explicitly. Left to itself, Vizard Agent will happily read a source out in the narration and move on, because a citation is a fact about the script rather than a visual instruction. You have to ask for it as a picture.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A video that puts the page on screen while citing it is checkable, and on a platform full of confident voices, checkable is the whole argument. But a screenshot is not automatically a usable shot: paywalls, cookie banners and lazy-loading images all produce a picture that says nothing, so it looks before it builds. In the session behind this article it:
- Fetched the one linked article for a property-market commentary, read what was actually on the page, and screenshotted it as it rendered in a browser.
- Looked at its own screenshot to confirm the headline was legible before building anything on top of it.
- Auditioned voices for a news-explainer read, generated the narration, transcribed it for word-level timings and re-generated it where a phrase did not read cleanly.
- Built the article showcase card as an animation and inspected a frame from it, then built the cards for the figures, the link and the closing question and reviewed them all in one preview grid.
- Measured the loudness of narration against music and moved the animated subtitles into the safe zone.
- Rendered a ten-second slice to check the assembly before the full run.
When does this not work well?
A screenshot is a photograph of whatever the browser was showing at that moment, and many pages are not showing their content then. Paywalled articles show a wall, login-gated reports load nothing, and a dense PDF page is unreadable at video size. Vizard Agent will tell you rather than shipping a picture of a cookie banner.
Common questions
Does it need the article to be public? Yes, for a live capture. Vizard Agent tells you when a page will not load.
Can I supply my own screenshot instead? Yes. Upload the image and Vizard Agent builds the card from that.
Does it check the numbers in my script? Only if you ask. Vizard Agent can look the figures up against the source you linked.
