Vizard AI is an AI tool that turns lengthy videos into bite-sized, short video clips suitable for social media sharing. It also claims extensive editing abilities that help to customize the end video according to brand needs. In this review, we put these claims to the test.
Main Features
1. Free YouTube Shorts Maker
This feature easily creates short-form videos from longer content, especially for YouTube Shorts. With the YouTube link of a long-form video, Vizard will detect highlights for short videos.
Once it notes these, it trims, resizes, and repackages the clip into a vertical format. Then the user is allowed to add templates, captions, emojis, and background music to the content.
2. AI Highlight Detection and Auto-Clipping
This feature is responsible for scanning uploaded videos for particularly engaging, high-interest moments. It looks for emotional moments, punchlines, and key insights- things that would hook an audience.
This time-saving feature is seen in the free YouTube shorts maker that disintegrates lengthy videos into bite-sized, impacted YouTube shorts.
3. Text-Based Video Editing
Instead of navigating through precise technical controllers, Vizard AI enables its users to edit videos using text instructions. Users are required to highlight sections of the transcript to effect a change for easy editing.
For instance, deleting a sentence from a video also deletes that video portion.
4. Auto Transcription, Captioning, and Multilingual Translation
When a link is entered, Vizard AI provides a detailed and accurate transcription of video content, along with customizable captions. It also provides subtitles, which can be customized to match branding elements.
Then, Vizard AI caters to multiple languages that can be translated into over 100 languages.
5. AI Speaker Detection and Auto-Reframing
In a video featuring multiple speakers, Vizard AI tracks each speaker using facial recognition and speaker detection. Then, it reframes the video around each of them to prevent any awkwardness that could result from switching between different aspect ratios. Vizard AI ensures the speaker’s face remains in focus and is well-positioned in the frame.
6. Templates and Emojis
Vizard AI has a selection of templates, tailored to varying social media platforms. Many templates come with associated animated text, emojis, background effects, and progress bars. Based on the cues gotten from the video, the AI automatically places these elements for a coherent video.
7. AI Thumbnail Generator
The AI scans the video for facial expressions, scene compositions, and frame layouts that are likely to grab attention- all signs of a winning thumbnail. These thumbnails can be customized with branding, text overlays, and design filters.
8. Easy Uploads
Vizard AI can process videos via links (YouTube and Zoom). This effectively eliminates bulky and lengthy uploads.
Using Vizard AI
Vizard AI does not require a sign-up to use. So, I proceeded to attach a link to a YouTube video.
Then, the tool asked me to select from a list of options, and I clicked ‘generate AI clips.’ What followed was a list of clips, extracted from the video.
Each clip came attached with a rating that ranged from 9.2/10 to 7.5/10. Taking a closer look at the clips, I realized that each clip in itself was a snippet of a high-interest moment, not a summary of the entire video.
They came in the 9:16 aspect ratio typical of short video platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Just like the tool claimed, the editing was transcript-based. Deleting a section of the transcript generated the same effect in the video.
.
I moved on to explore the templates.
I selected a ‘headline and subtitles’ template typical of TikTok videos. The AI automatically created a headline that captured the clip entirely and also added accurate subtitles along with emojis.
Vizard AI also let me adjust the size of the video frame (within the confines of the original size). Still, there were more editing features for further customization.
The Bottom Line
Vizard AI is an AI tool that helps anyone repurpose content without the extensive time commitment. Along with this, it provides multiple editing features for customization purposes.
