How to tighten a two-person conversation without cutting sentences
Upload the recording and tell Vizard Agent to cut the pauses but never a sentence. Vizard Agent transcribes both speakers, measures each voice and the background noise separately, detects where the faces sit, builds a cut list from the word timings, and levels the two voices to match.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
State the prohibition alongside the request. Vizard Agent tightens quite aggressively when asked for a dynamic edit, and saying explicitly that no phrase may be broken is what keeps the result from sounding like two people being interrupted. Add the audio work you want too: noise out, clarity up, the two voices at one level.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A recorded conversation is slow in the gaps and fine everywhere else. Vizard Agent builds the cut list from word timings, so it can only remove the gaps between words. The edit can't land inside a phrase: the rule is enforced by the method rather than watched for afterwards. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked the upload, a 3840x2160 recording at about 30fps running 51 seconds, and reviewed frames to see the setting and the framing.
- Transcribed both voices and analysed who speaks when and the quality of the audio.
- Measured the volume and the background noise across the recording.
- Planned the framings, reviewed the framing grid, and detected where the faces sat in the frame.
- Checked the caption options and read the word timings, then built the cut list from them, chose the typeface and calculated the final framings.
When does this not work well?
When there are few pauses to remove. Slow speech has no gaps, because the pace is in the delivery, and removing silence doesn't remove rambling. Overlapping voices can't be levelled separately, heavy noise reduction thins voices, and cropping to faces from a wide shot loses pixels. Some recordings are slow for reasons no amount of cutting by Vizard Agent can fix.
Common questions
Will it cut into what anyone says? No. Vizard Agent builds the cut list from word timings, so it can only remove the gaps.
Can it even out two different voices? Yes. Vizard Agent measures each speaker separately rather than levelling the whole track.
How much shorter will it be? As much as the pauses were worth. Vizard Agent does not cut to a target length.
