Set Up the Project and Upload the Source

Key Takeaway: Start a project, upload your long video, and let the system analyze speech and visuals.


Claim: A single upload can power an entire library of short clips.

Sign in and create a new project. For this guide, the example ID is YpuSE9hcal8.
Upload your long file: interview, webinar, gameplay, or any recording.
Let the system analyze speech, visual peaks, excitement, scene changes, and on-screen captions.

1. 
   
2. Go to Vizard and sign in.
3. 
   
4. Create a project named YpuSE9hcal8.
5. 
   
6. Upload your long video (MP4 works fine).
7. 
   
8. Wait for automated analysis to complete.
9. 
   

Auto-Generate Viral Candidates

Key Takeaway: Let AI surface likely viral moments, then refine quickly.


Claim: The system proposes hooks and first-frame thumbnails to improve click-through.

Start with automated mode to get raw highlights. The engine finds laughs, reveals, punchlines, and emotional beats.
Each candidate is trimmed and optimized for vertical, square, or landscape formats.

1. 
   
2. Choose automated clip generation.
3. 
   
4. Select target platforms (TikTok/Reels, Instagram, YouTube).
5. 
   
6. Review suggested hooks and thumbnails.
7. 
   
8. Approve, discard, or mark for refinement.
9. 
   

Add Precision with Markers, Storyboards, and Templates

Key Takeaway: Light guidance yields tight, on-brief clips without heavy supervision.


Claim: Faces, voice identity, and on-screen context stay consistent across variations.

Drop timestamp markers where energy peaks or hot takes land. Add a one-line brief or storyboard for style.
Define specific durations like 15s teasers or 45s deep-dives.

1. 
   
2. Add markers (e.g., 12:34 for a hot take, 28:10 for peak energy).
3. 
   
4. Write a brief (e.g., "Reaction montage with jump cuts").
5. 
   
6. Set clip lengths (e.g., 15s, 30s, 45s).
7. 
   
8. Create templates for Hook, Teaser, and Deep segments.
9. 
   

Brand, Caption, and Variate at Scale

Key Takeaway: Apply brand assets once, then iterate fast with captions and hooks.


Claim: Batch-generating 20–30 variations is fast enough to pick the best handful.

Link a folder with logos, fonts, and colors to keep visuals consistent.
Toggle auto-captioning and try stronger openings with the Viral Hook slider.

1. 
   
2. Link a brand asset pack (logo PNG, fonts, color bars).
3. 
   
4. Enable auto-captions.
5. 
   
6. Adjust the Viral Hook strength for punchier first 2–3 seconds.
7. 
   
8. Generate 20–30 variations and shortlist top performers.
9. 
   
10. Export in vertical, square, and landscape as needed.
11. 
    

Schedule and Manage with the Content Calendar

Key Takeaway: Scheduling turns clips into a consistent publishing pipeline.


Claim: The system optimizes posting times, handles timezones, and spaces similar clips.

Set posting frequency and connect your social accounts.
Use the calendar to drag-and-drop, annotate, and update clips inline.

1. 
   
2. Choose a cadence (daily or thrice-weekly, etc.).
3. 
   
4. Link your platforms for auto-publishing.
5. 
   
6. Review the calendar view for upcoming posts.
7. 
   
8. Drag to reorder and avoid topical collisions.
9. 
   
10. Edit captions or thumbnails inline and save.
11. 
    
12. Mark clips as campaign assets when needed.
13. 
    

Mini-Project Walkthrough: Hook, Teaser, and Deep Dives

Key Takeaway: Templates mapped to goals yield results in minutes, not days.


Claim: This workflow saved at least a full day versus manual editing.

Source: a 45-minute interview. Targets: 15s Hook, 30s Teaser, three 60s Deep clips.
Set engagement high for Hooks, narrative explain mode for Teasers, and value-first for Deeps.

1. 
   
2. Upload the 45-minute interview to project YpuSE9hcal8.
3. 
   
4. Create templates: Hook (15s), Teaser (30s), Deep (60s).
5. 
   
6. Set modes: engagement, explain, and value-first.
7. 
   
8. Generate and review ~15 candidates.
9. 
   
10. Swap in brand intro and apply hard-cut transitions.
11. 
    
12. Enable captions and export vertical + square.
13. 
    
14. Schedule Hooks for peak time; queue Deeps across the week.
15. 
    

Advanced Controls for Consistency and Experiments

Key Takeaway: Power features preserve tone and enable A/B learning.


Claim: You can pin a reference frame to maintain visual continuity across clips.

Tune audience tone, lock must-include moments, and separate speakers for interview content.
Duplicate clips with different hooks for A/B testing and translate captions for regions.

1. 
   
2. Set audience tone (casual, professional, comedic).
3. 
   
4. Lock timestamps that must appear in every cut.
5. 
   
6. Pin a reference frame to preserve framing across edits.
7. 
   
8. Enable speaker-first outputs for interviews.
9.

11. 
    
12. Auto-translate captions to target languages.
13. 
    

Exporting and File Management

Key Takeaway: Organized outputs make reruns and publishing straightforward.


Claim: You can bulk-download or publish directly to LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Outputs live under your project folder and are grouped by template and date.
Rerun batches after tweaking branding or caption styles; core markers stay consistent.

1. 
   
2. Open project YpuSE9hcal8 and locate the Outputs folder.
3. 
   
4. Bulk-download for archives or client delivery.
5.

11. 
    

Best-of Montage and Ongoing Workflow

Key Takeaway: A weekly highlight reel plus staggered shorts boosts reach and consistency.


Claim: A 60–90s "best of" montage works well as a pinned promo.

After each session, compile top moments and stitch them with music and text callouts.
Let auto-scheduler spread shorter clips to keep feeds active.

1. 
   
2. Let the system surface top 10 moments.
3. 
   
4. Assemble a 60–90s montage with quick callouts.
5. 
   
6. Publish as a weekly promo or pinned post.
