How to swap the real data in a demo recording for clean demo names
Give Vizard Agent the demo names you want to appear and ask it to replace the real ones rather than blur them. It surveys the recording for every place a name shows, including fields, tables, modal titles and the autocomplete dropdown. Then it measures each region, lays clean labels over them, and inspects every one at full resolution before delivery.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say "replace" and give Vizard Agent the new names to use. Asking for names to be removed invites a blur, and a blurred field in a product demo tells the viewer there was something worth hiding. The substitutes should look like something a real user typed: "Demo Dataset" reads as a demo, "XXXXXX" reads as a redaction.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Nearly all of it is measurement. The replacing itself is trivial once it's known exactly where each name sits and for how long, and the software shows names in more places than anyone remembers, including an autocomplete dropdown that offers earlier entries back for half a second after a click. In the session behind this article it:
- Surveyed a product walkthrough that had to be cleaned before launch for every moment a name appeared, and viewed each location before masking anything.
- Inspected the exact fields at full resolution and built a timeline of when each name was visible.
- Measured the result rows where labels appeared again, and the geometry of each dialogue box, since a label placed for the main window sits a few pixels off inside a modal.
- Laid clean demo labels over every measured region and inspected each replacement and its transition at full resolution.
- Masked the saved-name suggestion lists that appeared on field focus, which can show names typed in an earlier take.
- Removed the remaining table exposure and re-checked the whole file.
When does this not work well?
Replacing works on text that sits still. A name inside a scrolling list, a chart label that animates, or text at an angle is much harder to cover convincingly, and blurring or a re-record may be the better answer. Names spoken aloud are a separate job, in the audio.
Common questions
Why not just blur? Because a blurred field looks like you are hiding something. Vizard Agent replaces instead.
What about the autocomplete list? Vizard Agent masks those specifically, because they are the commonest leak.
What if the text scrolls? Harder. Vizard Agent will tell you when a re-record is the better option.
