Artists film everything and post almost none of it, because the edit is the part that never happens. Vyra takes hours of overhead footage, keeps the moments where the piece visibly changes, speeds up the rest, and lands the reveal on the beat.

What you make

Your three most-used prompts

Speed paint

Turn the overhead footage into a 30-second 9:16 speed paint to the attached track. Speed up the long stretches, slow to real time for the three biggest changes, end on the finished piece held for 3 seconds. Title at the start with the piece name and size. No captions.

Process with narration

Build a 60-second process video from the overhead clips and my voiceover. My voice is the spine, cut the footage to match what I'm describing. When I mention the preserved flowers, show the close-up of me placing them. Calm music at 20% under my voice.

Reveal

Make a 15-second reveal. Three seconds of the blank canvas, a fast timelapse of the whole process, then a slow pan across the finished piece for 5 seconds. Title and medium as small text bottom left during the pan.

A typical workflow

Upload the session footage, phone clips, and a photo of the finished piece.
Ask for the format you want and name the track.
Fix pacing. "Hold the underpainting longer" or "faster through the background."
Add the title, medium, and dimensions as text.
Export 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 4:5 or 1:1 for the grid.

What Vyra does that matters for you

Speed ramps, slow moments, and holds from a sentence.
It can tell hours of similar overhead footage apart.
Beat sync so the reveal lands where the song does.
One style across a body of work. Attach a past reel and say "same treatment."

What it does not do

It doesn't generate art or change your work. It edits what you filmed.
It doesn't color correct unless you ask. Say "keep the paint colors true."

FAQ

Will it keep the colors of my work accurate? Yes, by default. Ask for a grade on the vlog clips only if you want one.

Can it handle a piece filmed across several days? Yes. Upload all the clips and say "in the order filmed." It uses the recording dates.

Can I make a montage of a whole semester? Yes. See /formats/semester-recap-montage.
