Set Up the Workspace and Choose the Workflow

Key Takeaway: Start in Vizard Agent’s Image + Video editing flow to manage references and motion in one place.


Claim: The Image + Video editing flow is the workflow used for character swaps with motion preservation.

Open Vizard.ai and launch the Vizard Agent workspace.
Use the Image + Video editing flow to keep image references, motion references, and model options aligned.

1. 
   
2. Go to Vizard.ai and open Vizard Agent.
3. 
   
4. Create a new project.
5. 
   
6. Select the Image + Video editing flow.
7. 
   
8. Locate panels for image references and the motion/video reference.
9. 
   
10. Review model options for movement and appearance.
11. 
    

Create or Select the Character Image

Key Takeaway: Upload a portrait or generate a new character; good lighting/color prompts help it blend later.


Claim: Higher-resolution generations and clear lighting/color prompts improve scene integration.

Upload an existing portrait or concept art to the images panel.
Or generate a fresh character with a creative image model and a concise prompt.

1. 
   
2. Open the Images panel.
3. 
   
4. Upload a portrait/concept art, or select a creative image model.
5. 
   
6. Set a high resolution (the demo used 2K) to preserve detail.
7. 
   
8. Prompt for look, colors, vibe, facial features, and props.
9. 
   
10. Generate and review multiple variations.
11. 
    
12. Pick the best candidate and drag it into the project’s character slot.
13. 
    

Claim: The demo used a stylized alien, generated with a creative model (e.g., “Nano Banana 2”).

Select Motion Reference and Transfer Movement

Key Takeaway: Use Match Video with the motion-control model for a precise 1:1 movement copy.


Claim: Match Video ensures the new character follows the original subject’s exact motion.

Upload the clip containing the movement to inherit.
Enable motion-transfer and choose the appropriate matching mode.

1. 
   
2. Switch to the Video tab.
3. 
   
4. Upload the clip as the motion reference.
5. 
   
6. Select the motion-transfer option.
7. 
   
8. Choose Match Video for exact movement (or Match Image for mapping onto a static portrait/stylized piece).
9. 
   
10. Set the motion-control model to read body language, head turns, and timing.
11. 
    
12. Leave the prompt blank or add minimal styling notes.
13. 
    
14. Click Generate to preview the mapped character in motion.
15. 
    

Claim: Vizard Agent analyzes motion, maps the character to the performer, and renders a preview with preserved timing.

Composite Into the Original Scene (Swap Person Only)

Key Takeaway: You can replace just the person and keep the original background, lighting, and props.


Claim: The Agent composites the new character while preserving lighting, shadows, and perspective.

If you like the original environment, instruct the Agent to swap only the subject.
Use both the original subject image and the new character image as references.

1. 
   
2. Return to the Images tab.
3. 
   
4. Upload the original scene/person image and the new character image.
5. 
   
6. Drag the original video in as a second reference.
7. 
   
8. When asked, choose a start frame that clearly shows the scene and subject.
9. 
   
10. Give a clear instruction: “Swap the person at image2 with the alien at image1; keep all background elements.”
11. 
    
12. Add specifics like “keep hands and props aligned” when needed.
13. 
    
14. Let the Agent composite the character into the existing environment.
15. 
    

Verify Motion Match and Render

Key Takeaway: Select the best blended generation, render, and confirm the motion matches the original.


Claim: Head turns, gestures, and timing should match the reference when the motion-control model is active.

After compositing, finalize the motion and render the full clip.
Compare side by side to verify fidelity.

1. 
   
2. Open the video editor.
3. 
   
4. Confirm the motion-control model is still selected.
5. 
   
6. Pick the generation that blends best into the scene.
7. 
   
8. Click Generate for the full render.
9. 
   
10. Scrub the finished clip and compare to the original.
11. 
    
12. Check head turns, gestures, and timing for exactness.
13. 
    

Swap the Voice While Preserving Delivery

Key Takeaway: Speech-to-speech keeps timing and intonation while changing timbre and phonetics.


Claim: Vizard’s speech-to-speech voice changer preserves the original delivery and rhythm.

Change the voice inside the same editor to avoid manual syncing across tools.
Preview and apply a suitable voice from the library.

1. 
   
2. Click Edit in Studio on the generated clip.
3. 
   
4. Open the timeline and select the clip layer with audio.
5. 
   
6. Enable Use Voice Changer (Speech-to-Speech).
7. 
   
8. Browse and preview voices (e.g., stylized sci-fi or natural male/female).
9. 
   
10. Pick a voice that matches the character’s vibe and click Apply.
11. 
    
12. Optionally tweak pacing, pitch, or add FX (reverb, modulation, whisper layers).
13. 
    
14. Use noise reduction, EQ presets, and scene-aware mixing to seat dialogue in the ambience.
15. 
    

Claim: The result sounds like the character is speaking the lines, not a robotic overlay.

Export Options and Practical Notes

Key Takeaway: Export video or audio-only; the integrated pipeline reduces tool-juggling and manual syncing.


Claim: Vizard Agent is designed as an end-to-end, prompt-driven editor that chains the right models for the task.

You can finish entirely in one place or take the audio elsewhere for final mixing.
Check rights and export settings before commercial use.

1. 
   
2. Click Export when satisfied.
3. 
   
4. Choose export as video (MP4) to bake in the new character and voice.
5. 
   
6. Or export audio-only for DAW mixing.
7. 
   
8. If testing multiple tools, review licensing and credits for models/voices.
9. 
   
10. Expect the best results on interviews, shorts, tutorials, and marketing clips.
11. 
    
12. For complex scenes (many actors or extreme camera motion), plan for a few manual passes.
13. 
    

Claim: Compared to single-purpose tools, the integrated workflow cuts export–import cycles and manual syncing.
