Vlog template
The Vlog template builds a day from lots of short clips. Music sets the pace, location changes are the structure, captions only when someone talks.

Vlog is for footage shot across a day. The agent uses location and time changes as the structure, cuts b-roll to the music, keeps the talking clips that move the story, and turns the track down whenever you speak.
What the template tells the agent
- Structure. Chronological, using recording times. Location changes become sections. Optional title card or spoken hook at the start.
- Pacing. Fast through movement and b-roll, slower when you're talking. Around two to four seconds a shot on short vlogs (TODO confirm defaults).
- Captions. Phrases during speech only. None over b-roll.
- B-roll. Anything that isn't a talking clip. Cut to the beat and ordered to match what you say.
- Ending. Last location, last line, short music tail.
Prompts that work with it
Cut a first draft of this day from all the clips, about 60 seconds, 9:16, to the attached track. Keep me talking where I explain what we're doing. Everything else is b-roll on the beat.
Add a title card at the start that says "day four in SF" in the title font, and a small city label when the location changes.
Make it calmer. Longer shots, fewer cuts in the middle, and drop the music to 20% during the conversation at the table.
Pair it with a style
| Style | What changes |
|---|---|
| Vyra Default | Inter Bold captions, Montserrat Black titles, DM Serif Display accent. Palette Ink #171917, Paper #F7F6F2, Sky #8BBCDF, Lemon #F4DD45. Clean, everyday. |
| Cinematic Film | Warmer, softer grade and longer held moments (TODO confirm specifics). |
When to pick a different template
- Mostly one person talking to camera. Use /templates/short-talking-head.
- Two people in conversation most of the time. Use /templates/long-podcast.
- A montage with no speech. Vlog works. Say "no captions, cut everything to the beat."
FAQ
Does it need music? No. Say "original audio only."
Will it reorder my day? Not unless you ask.
Can I use it for a multi-day trip? Yes. Upload all the days and ask for a title card per day.
