How to talk over a screen recording to direct the edit
Record your screen while talking through what matters, then tell Vizard Agent the audio is a brief rather than a soundtrack. Vizard Agent transcribes what you said, uses it to find and name each section, builds a contact sheet per part, and delivers the silent cut you described out loud.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
State plainly that the audio is instructions. Otherwise Vizard Agent will treat your voice as the soundtrack, which is the reasonable reading and the opposite of what you meant. Say exactly what you want delivered too: left open, a request like this can produce a main cut plus some shorts you then have to look through.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
The structure comes from your speech. Talking over the recording while you use the app is faster than writing a brief, and because the commentary names the sections, the footage is grouped by what the app was doing rather than by the clock. Each part is then reviewed as a unit. In the session behind this article it:
- Inspected the source's dimensions, duration and streams: 1080x1920, H.264, 30fps and 275.13 seconds of app use with a running commentary.
- Transcribed the shots and the speech, read the start of the transcript to understand the intent, and analysed the shot and transcript data together.
- Extracted key frames into contact sheets and reviewed them in three batches: the home screen, catalogue and search; the card details and collection; the profile, community map and the rest.
- Checked the final seconds, then built a separate contact sheet per story beat from frame sequences for each section.
- Delivered exactly one clip, silent, organised into the sections the commentary named.
When does this not work well?
Speaking a brief is faster than writing one and less precise. Vague commentary like "this bit is good" names nothing, and talking about a feature doesn't film it. Background noise can confuse the transcript, and talking randomly through a long recording gives a random structure. Vizard Agent can only be as clear as the commentary was.
Common questions
Does my voice end up in the video? Not if you say it is a guide. Vizard Agent uses it to edit and then discards it.
Can I speak my own language? Yes. Vizard Agent transcribes it regardless of the output language.
What should I say while recording? Name each section as you reach it and say why it matters. Vizard Agent uses those names as the structure.
