How to structure a comparison video that opens on a question
Write the opening question and describe what each side should show. Vizard Agent records the narration, generates a shot for every beat of both sequences, animates them, builds the on-screen graphics, and generates an extra shot when the argument needs a counterpart the original brief did not include.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Write it as numbered sequences. Vizard Agent generates one shot per beat, so a brief laid out as the question, each side and a closing maps directly onto the shots it builds and the graphics it places over them. The question does the most work, because it sets what both sides are compared on.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A comparison video asks something before it explains anything. The question buys the first three seconds, the two sequences do the arguing, and the ending has to resolve the comparison rather than simply stop. Two corrections shaped this one: graphics with type far too small, and an ending that needed a shot the brief never asked for. In the session behind this article it:
- Searched for a voice and music, generated the narration, measured its duration and generated all fifteen images plus the music bed.
- Reviewed every generated image on a contact sheet before animating anything, then built the full voice track and animated all fifteen shots, reviewing them in three groups.
- Created the animated on-screen graphics, checked them and rebuilt them with much larger type.
- Assembled the picture, composited the graphics and measured the voice and music levels.
- Generated a renovated-house shot as a counterpart to the neglected one, compared the two and replaced the final beat, since the brief described the problem twice and never the fix.
- Rebuilt the captions with better contrast and delivered a vertical 1080x1920, 30fps H.264 file of 67.73 seconds with AAC audio.
When does this not work well?
The comparison is an argument, and Vizard Agent builds the argument you write rather than testing whether it holds up. Everything on screen is generated illustration, which suits a rhetorical structure and rules out anything meant as evidence. A rigged pairing reads as one, a weak question sinks it, and three-way comparisons need a different structure.
Common questions
Do I need any footage? None. Vizard Agent generates every shot in both sequences.
How long should a comparison video be? Around a minute, so Vizard Agent can give each side enough beats to register before the comparison lands.
What if my brief has no ending? Vizard Agent will tell you, and it generated the missing counterpart shot itself on this run.
