How to turn your own artwork clips into a commentary short
Upload your artwork clips to Vizard Agent and say what the commentary should argue. Vizard Agent inspects every clip as a frame grid, transcribes the speech in all of them at once, checks whether anything was missed, and builds bold animated captions timed to the words actually spoken.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say what the clips are and what the short should argue. Vizard Agent watches and transcribes them itself, so the sentence that changes the result is the one describing the point. A commentary video is a position rather than a compilation, and the argument is what decides the order.

What does Vizard Agent actually do?
These shorts are watched without sound and read rather than heard, so the captions have to match the speech exactly. The interesting part comes at the end of the run: Vizard Agent went back to check whether anything had gone unsubtitled, rather than assuming the transcription was complete. In the session behind this article it:
- Probed all eight clips, tiled sample frames from each into one grid, and checked which clips had audio streams and what codecs they used.
- Transcribed the speech in all of them in parallel, and compared frames from the long clips at different times to see whether they were static.
- Analysed one clip's audio track for music, voice quality and levels.
- Found the main pass had missed quiet speech in the final twelve seconds, so trimmed that section, uploaded it and transcribed it separately.
- Extended the word-level timing file with those manually timed events, regenerated the animated captions and checked the end frames of the render to confirm the new lines appeared.
- Delivered a 1080x1920 short at 30fps, 56.94 seconds long, with bold captions carrying an active-word highlight.
When does this not work well?
Commentary is an argument, and Vizard Agent presents whatever argument you give it with the same confidence. It doesn't fact-check the commentary; it captions it, and bold captions make a strong statement stronger. Quiet or noisy audio degrades the transcript, which can be fixed with an extra pass, as here. A long shot of unchanging artwork needs the commentary to carry it, or a cut.
Common questions
Will every word be captioned? That is the intent. Vizard Agent checks for passages the transcription missed and fills them rather than shipping a gap.
Do the clips need to have my voice on them? No. Vizard Agent checks which have audio and can add a narrated line where the clips are silent.
Can it reorder my clips? Yes. Say the argument and Vizard Agent sequences them to make it, or name the order yourself.
