Vizard Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Posting Every AI-Generated Clip

❌ Wrong: Downloading and posting all 15 clips the AI generates without reviewing them.

✅ Right: Filter by viral score and only post clips scoring 70 or above for best engagement.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Caption Styling

❌ Wrong: Using the default white subtitle style on every clip with no customization.

✅ Right: Match caption colors and fonts to your brand. Use the brand kit to stay consistent across all clips.

Mistake #3: Uploading Low-Quality Source Videos

❌ Wrong: Uploading a 360p video and expecting sharp, professional-looking clips.

✅ Right: Upload at least 1080p source files. Vizard supports up to 4K for the sharpest output.

Vizard Troubleshooting

Problem: Video Upload Stuck or Failing

Cause: The file size exceeds 10GB or your internet connection is unstable.

Fix: Compress the video below 10GB using Handbrake. Switch to a wired connection for large uploads.

Problem: AI Clips Have Awkward Start or End Points

Cause: The AI sometimes misidentifies natural sentence boundaries.

Fix: Open the text editor and trim the first or last sentence. Preview before exporting.

Problem: Subtitles Are Out of Sync

Cause: Poor audio quality in the source video causes timing errors.

Fix: Re-upload with cleaner audio. Use an external mic when recording source videos.

📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact Vizard support at help.vizard.ai.
