Why Trust This Guide
I’ve used Vizard for eight months and tested every feature covered here. This tutorial comes from real hands-on experience — not marketing fluff or vendor screenshots.

Vizard AI is one of the most capable AI video editing tools available today.
But most users only scratch the surface of what it can do.
This guide shows you how to use every major feature.
Step by step, with screenshots and pro tips.
One note before you start: the name Vizard refers to two different tools.
This article covers the AI video clipping platform at vizard.ai.
The other Vizard is a Python-based platform for building virtual reality experiences.
Vizard Tutorial
This How to Use Vizard tutorial walks you through every feature step by step, from your first upload to the tricks that make you a power user.

Vizard
Turn one long recording into a month of social content. Vizard finds the best moments, adds captions, and exports clips sized for every platform. Start free with 60 upload minutes — no card needed.
Getting Started with Vizard
Before using any feature, complete this one-time setup.
It takes about 3 minutes.
This tutorial video walks through the whole process:
Now let’s walk through each step.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to the Vizard website at vizard.ai.
Click “Sign Up” or “Start Free Trial.”
Enter your email and create a password.
✓ Checkpoint: Check your inbox for a confirmation email.
Step 2: Open the Vizard Editor
Vizard runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Log in and the dashboard loads straight away.
Here’s what you get access to:

✓ Checkpoint: You should see the upload box on the main dashboard.
Step 3: Upload Your First Video
Paste a YouTube link, or upload a file from your computer.
Vizard accepts videos up to 10GB and 600 minutes long.
Video transcription starts automatically once uploading finishes.
✅ Done: You’re ready to use any feature below.
How to Use Vizard Auto-Focus
Auto-Focus on Speakers lets you keep every speaker centred on screen while you turn long form videos into vertical clips.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Open Your Project
Open any uploaded video inside the Vizard editor.
Pick a clip with two or more people talking.
Step 2: Turn On Speaker Tracking
Switch the layout to Auto-Focus in the right-hand panel.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: Both faces stay inside the vertical frame as the video plays.
Step 3: Adjust Speaker Positioning
Drag each frame if the AI misses a face during fast cuts.
✅ Result: Your podcast clip now follows whoever is talking, with no manual cropping.
💡 Pro Tip: Split-screen works better than auto-switching for debate-style podcasts, so viewers can read both reactions.
How to Use Vizard Social Media Repurposer
Social Media Repurposing lets you resize one clip into every format your social media strategy needs.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Choose Your Platforms
Select TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook from the format menu.
Vizard supports landscape, square, and vertical output.
Step 2: Check Each Aspect Ratio
Preview the clip in each format before exporting anything.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: The same clip appears correctly framed in all selected ratios.
Step 3: Schedule Your Posting
Plan and post content to connected social media platforms from one screen.
✅ Result: One upload now feeds four platforms without extra editing work.
💡 Pro Tip: Post the vertical cut to TikTok first, then reuse the square version on Facebook two days later.
How to Use Vizard Text to Video
Add Text to Video lets you layer titles, hooks, and branding elements over any clip.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Open the Text Panel
Click Text in the left sidebar of the Vizard editor.
Drop your hook in the first two seconds.
Step 2: Style Your Elements
Pick a font, colour, and position that match your personal brand.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: Your title sits above the subtitles without overlapping them.
Step 3: Save to Your Brand Kit
Store logos, fonts, and custom video elements for reuse.
✅ Result: Every clip you create now carries the same look.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep hook text under seven words, because most viewers decide within three seconds.
How to Use Vizard Translations
Translations lets you reach a wider audience by translating captions into other languages.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Select a Finished Clip
Open a clip that already has accurate video transcription.
Step 2: Pick a Target Language
Choose the language your target audience actually speaks.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: Translated captions appear under the original timeline.
Step 3: Proofread the Output
Scan names and product terms, since AI translation misses brand words.
✅ Result: The same clip now works for viewers in a second language.
💡 Pro Tip: Translate one test clip first and watch retention before translating your whole back catalogue.
How to Use Vizard Text Editor
Edit by Text lets you edit video footage by deleting words from the transcript.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Open the Transcript
Switch to the transcript view beside your video timeline.
Vizard transcribes audio automatically after uploading.
Step 2: Delete Filler Words
Highlight ums and false starts, then press delete.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: The timeline shortens as deleted words disappear.
Step 3: Preview the Cut
Play the trimmed clip to check the audio still sounds natural.
✅ Result: A tighter clip, edited without touching a traditional timeline.
💡 Pro Tip: Search the transcript for your product name to find quotable moments fast.
How to Use Vizard AI-Powered Clipping
AI-Powered Clipping lets you turn long videos into the most engaging social ready clips, ranked by viral score.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Paste a YouTube Link
Drop a YouTube link into the upload box, or upload a file.
Vizard accepts files up to 10GB and 600 minutes long.
Step 2: Let the AI Detect Highlights
Vizard reads emotional peaks and semantic cues to find strong moments.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: A grid of clips appears, each with its own viral score.
Step 3: Sort by Viral Score
Post the highest scoring ai clips first.
For example, a 90-minute interview usually yields three or four strong ones.
✅ Result: A one-hour podcast becomes a dozen social ready clips in minutes.
💡 Pro Tip: Ignore any clip scoring below 60 unless it contains a strong quote you want anyway.
How to Use Vizard Automated Subtitles
Automated Subtitles lets you add captions that keep sound-off viewers watching.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Generate the Captions
Vizard writes captions from the transcript with no extra effort.
Step 2: Choose a Subtitle Style
Pick a template, then adjust subtitle animations and colour.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: Captions animate word by word as the clip plays.
Step 3: Fix Any Misheard Words
Correct names and jargon directly in the caption text.
✅ Result: Your clips stay readable for the majority who watch on mute.
💡 Pro Tip: Bold your keyword in each caption line, which helps short clips read as a mini presentation.
How to Use Vizard AI B-roll
AI B-roll lets you enhance talking-head footage with relevant stock visuals.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Open the B-roll Tab
Find B-roll in the editing panel on the right.
Step 2: Insert Suggested Footage
Vizard suggests visuals based on what the speaker says.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: B-roll appears as a second layer above your main video.
Step 3: Trim the Overlay
Keep each b-roll cut under three seconds.
✅ Result: A flat talking-head clip now holds attention longer.
💡 Pro Tip: Add b-roll only where you mention a place, product, or number.
How to Use Vizard AdMaker
AdMaker lets you build short ad creatives from a product website or existing footage.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Step 1: Add Your Product Link
Paste your website URL into AdMaker.
Vizard pulls images and copy from the page.
Step 2: Pick an Ad Template
Choose a layout built for Instagram or Facebook placements.
Here’s what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: A finished ad preview loads with your product imagery.
Step 3: Export and Test
Export two versions and test which one performs better.
✅ Result: You have ad creative ready without hiring an editor.
💡 Pro Tip: Run the AI post generator afterwards to write matching captions for each placement.
Vizard Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After eight months of testing Vizard, here are the shortcuts I actually use.
Here’s my own workspace mid-edit:

Keyboard Shortcuts
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Play or pause preview | Space |
| Split clip at playhead | S |
| Undo last edit | Ctrl / Cmd + Z |
| Search the transcript | Ctrl / Cmd + F |
Hidden Features Most People Miss
- Viral score sorting: Sort the clip grid by score and post the top three first, instead of exporting everything.
- AI post generator: Generates captions and descriptions per platform, so you skip writing them twice.
- Brand kit: Saves logos, fonts, and custom elements once, then applies them to every clip you create.
Vizard Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Posting every clip the AI creates
❌ Wrong: Exporting all 20 clips from one podcast and flooding your feed the same day.
✅ Right: Post the three highest scoring ai clips, spaced across the week, and watch which one your target audience responds to.
Mistake #2: Skipping the transcript check
❌ Wrong: Exporting straight after upload and trusting every word of the video transcription.
✅ Right: Search the transcript for names and product terms first, because misheard captions cost you credibility with viewers.
Mistake #3: Using one format everywhere
❌ Wrong: Uploading the same landscape file to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
✅ Right: Export the right ratio per platform, since vertical clips get far more reach on mobile feeds.
Vizard Troubleshooting
Problem: Your YouTube link won’t import
Cause: Private, age-restricted, and members-only videos can’t be pulled by any third-party tool.
Fix: Set the video to unlisted, or download the file and upload it directly.
Problem: Captions miss names and jargon
Cause: AI transcription struggles with brand names, accents, and overlapping speech.
Fix: Edit the caption text before exporting, then save common terms in your brand kit.
Problem: Exports still carry a watermark
Cause: The free plan watermarks every export by design.
Fix: Upgrade to Creator, which removes the watermark and unlocks 4K exports.
📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact Vizard support through the in-app chat.
