VidBlitz matches narration with useful visuals and can include suitable source-original-audio moments when the Quote Statement selects that presentation.

Source-Original-Audio Moments

These are eligible clips with meaningful original audio, such as an interview, speech, statement, podcast moment, or historic recording.

Narration pauses during the clip. Background music may be reduced or paused so the original audio remains clear.

Supporting Visuals

Narration-led sections can use relevant footage, images, maps, documents, headlines, charts, Animated Scenes, and other visual treatments.

The visual should explain or strengthen the nearby narration, not merely fill the screen.

Choose the Presentation

Documentary, explainer, and listicle productions can be narration-led or include source-original-audio when suitable material exists.

Review the presentation mode, source permissions, footage outlook, and limiting factors in the Quote Statement. Source-original-audio cannot be guaranteed when eligible footage is unavailable.

Guide Source Choices

Use a Brand Profile for reusable source preferences and exclusions. Review those rules for each production before confirming.

Overly narrow permissions can reduce the runtime that can be covered with relevant visuals.

Review the Delivered Video

Check visual relevance, source context, rights, audio transitions, and whether original clips support the story accurately. Replace weak media in the editor before publishing.
