Vizard AI Tutorial for Beginners Step-by-Step Guide To Turning Long Videos Into Viral Clips
Why Use Vizard AI?
Vizard AI makes it simple to convert long form content—podcasts, interviews, livestreams—into short, shareable clips for social platforms. It automates highlight detection, captions, layouts, and even suggests post titles and descriptions. If you want a fast, AI-driven way to create vertical shorts or polished clips for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vizard is built for that workflow.
Quick Overview of The Workflow:
- Import Your Source: paste a YouTube link, upload a local file, or import from Zoom.
- Choose An Action: generate AI clips or transcribe and edit the full file.
- Customize Clip Settings: aspect ratio, length, emojis, templates, and keywords.
- Edit In The Built-in Editor: adjust captions, layouts, audio, auto reframe, and B-rolls.
- Export And Publish: download video/audio/subtitles or publish directly to social channels.
Step 1 — Importing Your Content
Paste a YouTube link or upload a local file. Vizard accepts files up to two hours long, and offers direct imports from recording sources like Zoom. Once uploaded, choose whether to Generate Clips by AI or Transcribe and Edit.
Step 2 — Generating Clips By AI
Select options that determine how the AI slices the content:
Aspect Ratio: 9:16 for vertical shorts, 1:1 for square posts, or 16:9 for long form.
Length: choose a range such as 30–60 seconds or use Auto to let AI decide.
Add Emojis: enable to make captions pop on social feeds.
Highlight Keywords: pick this to surface phrases that increase shareability.
Template: pick a layout (dual screen, triple screen, headline top/subtitle bottom) to match the platform and style.
The AI will then detect highlights and produce a set of clips along with suggested titles and a “viral score” for each clip.
Step 3 — Editing Clips In The Editor
The editor is where you refine the clips before export. Key features include:
Title And Viral Score: AI-generated title plus an explanation of why a clip could perform well.
Caption Styling: move or resize headlines and subtitles, change animation and font size.
Auto Reframe: intelligent reframing for different aspect ratios and speaker focus. You can switch between single-speaker or multi-person layouts.
Audio Tools: Edit audio tracks, trim, and change playback speed.
Split Scenes: Split the timeline at the current playhead to create new scenes.
Transcript: Full transcript on the side for quick edits and jump-to-time navigation.
Remove Silence: Automatically trim silent gaps—useful for tightening interviews and podcasts.
Pro Tips For Editor Tweaks
If captions appear jumbled in one scene, manually reposition them in the editor—text can be moved but the watermark cannot be removed without upgrading.
Use the layout presets when multiple speakers are detected to keep framing consistent across scenes.
Create and save a custom template for repeatable branding: headline style, subtitle look, background, logos, and outro.
Upload your logo to the media panel and drag it onto scenes for brand consistency.
Step 4 — AI B-rolls (beta) And Limits
Vizard can suggest B-roll footage automatically, pulling clips from free stock sources. Things to know:
B-roll generation works best on clips under 3 minutes. If your clip is longer, trim it below 3 minutes to enable B-roll suggestions.
You can add up to 10 B-roll clips at a time on a 3-minute video. Replace or delete existing B-rolls to add more.
Manually search for keywords (for example "reading") to pick specific stock shots if the auto-suggestions are not on target.
Step 5 — Exporting And Publishing
When you are happy with the edit, export options include:
Free exports up to 720p resolution.
Upgrade to remove the watermark and export at 1080p.
Download Formats: MP4 video, MP3 audio, and subtitle exports such as SRT or TXT.
Direct Publishing: connect channels and publish to YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram from the platform.
Shareable project link for collaborators or clients.
Built-in post generator and publishing aids.
Vizard includes a post generator that suggests titles, descriptions, and tags. Regenerating text and choosing a tone are premium features, but the built-in suggestions help speed up social posting and maintain consistency.
Pricing And Usage Limits:
Creator Plan: Roughly $20 per month with about 800 minutes of uploads per month (single seat).
Team Plan: Around $30 per seat per month with up to 6,000 minutes per month.
Yearly subscriptions typically offer significant savings compared to monthly billing.
Best Practices To Create Viral Clips:
Choose 9:16 for social-first content; trim tightly to keep attention within the first 3–5 seconds.
Use the Auto length setting to let AI find natural bite-sized highlights, then refine manually.
Add emojis and highlight keywords in captions to increase engagement on busy feeds.
Remove silences and tighten pauses to improve pacing.
Test different templates for the same clip—sometimes a dual-screen or a bold headline increases retention.
Use AI B-rolls for visual variety, but double-check relevance and replace stock clips that feel off-brand.
Example Workflow
Start with a 30-minute interview. Import the source, choose Generate Clips by AI with 9:16 and Auto length. Let the AI find highlights, then open the top-performing clips in the editor. Remove silence, tweak captions, add logo and a background, and insert one or two B-rolls for visual interest. Export at 1080p after upgrading to a paid plan, and publish directly to social with AI-suggested titles and tags.
"My first guest is the man who made electric cars a thing and is currently working on perfecting reusable rockets." — use strong introductions like this to hook viewers in the first 3 seconds.
Final Verdict:
Vizard AI speeds up the entire short-clip production process: highlight detection, captioning, layout, and even content suggestions for publishing. Expect to spend a little time in the editor polishing captions, adjusting layouts, and choosing the best B-rolls. With consistent use and saved templates, producing daily or weekly social clips becomes a predictable, repeatable process.
