How to turn a storyboard into a finished training module
Give Vizard Agent the storyboard screen by screen. Vizard Agent records the narration, builds every screen as a web page, captures each one with a headless browser at full resolution, assembles them with sound design, and can deliver a second version paced slower for learners who need it.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Paste the storyboard exactly as it was written. Vizard Agent treats every screen as its own scene with its own narration and timing, so the document you produced for the production team works as the brief without rewriting. Say the pace too: a module read at social-video speed is unusable for training.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Rather than animating slides in a video tool, Vizard Agent writes each screen as markup and records a browser displaying it. A screen of text and a diagram is a web page, and rendering it in a browser gives crisp type at any resolution without anyone building it in a video tool first. In the session behind this article it:
- Checked the installed engines, including the browser automation libraries, and tested a headless browser launch to confirm the approach would work.
- Searched for a voice and music suited to a training register, generated the narration for all nine screens in two batches and probed their durations.
- Generated interface sound effects for the transitions and rendered a test preview of screen one to inspect its layout before building the rest.
- Generated the markup for all nine screens, recorded each one with the browser and muxed in the audio.
- Reviewed a nine-screen contact sheet, refined the layout and centring, and re-rendered in high definition: a 1080x1920 cut at 60fps, 111.72 seconds long.
- Produced a second version with the audio slowed and breathing pauses added between points.
When does this not work well?
This format renders exactly what the storyboard specifies, and Vizard Agent doesn't evaluate the pedagogy behind it, so a weak storyboard produces a weak module. It isn't an authoring tool: there's no branching, no quiz scoring and no learner tracking. Compliance training may mandate records, assessment and accessibility, and a full course is many modules rather than one long file.
Common questions
Why two versions at different speeds? The pace that suits a review meeting is too fast for someone learning the material. Vizard Agent made a faster cut and one with pauses between the points.
Do I need to design the screens? Only in the storyboard. Vizard Agent builds them from your screen-by-screen description.
Can Vizard Agent write the narration? Yes, from the on-screen text, and supplying your own gives you more control.
