I was recently invited to join the Vizard Agent alpha test and got to try this newer kind of video agent tool! At first, I assumed the main value for people doing video editing would be automatic editing. But after actually testing it, especially for ecommerce content, it feels less like “AI cuts the video for you” and more like it helps with creative direction.

Say you have a bunch of product footage, livestream clips, talking-head clips, b-roll, or feature demos. In the traditional workflow, the first step usually isn’t editing. It’s figuring out the angle first, things like:

What is this ad selling?

Should the opening start from a pain point or a product result?

Should it feel like UGC, or more like a polished product ad?

Is this better as a TikTok vertical clip or a 16:9 product demo?

Which pieces of footage actually support that angle?

What text overlays would make the selling point easier to understand quickly?

All of that happens before you even get into the actual edit. With a video agent workflow, the process feels a bit different. You can give it a brief in natural language, like:

this is product footage, I want to make a short ad, here’s the target platform, length, language, and main selling point. Then it starts organizing things around that goal: creative direction, script ideas, usable footage, text prompts, captions, music or sound direction, and eventually the timeline.

That’s where it started to click for me. The agent can help turn rough ad angles into actual video plans that are easier to execute. I can see this being pretty useful for small teams or solo founders, because a lot of the time the hard part is not knowing how the footage should be packaged into an ad. One product can be framed through features, pain points, use cases, comparisons, user outcomes, price perception, or step-by-step demos. But each angle needs a different opening, footage order, caption style, and pacing.

So based on my experience so far, the more realistic role of AI video agents in product ads might be:

raw product footage → brief → creative angle → script / overlay ideas → first ad cut → human judgment

For people working in ecommerce, SaaS, product marketing, or short-form ads: Do you think this is a workflow that actually makes sense to hand over to an AI video agent?

I've been paying for MMOs for around 20 years, and I honestly don't mind subscriptions. A flat sub has always felt pretty straightforward to me: the game costs money to run, players pay for access, fair enough!

What has started to wear me down is the lack of any real ceiling!!

EVE is what made me think about it again. Between Omega pricing, PLEX, bundles, and skill injectors, it feels like there is always another layer where money can be converted into progress. Skill injectors were the big one for me, because buying SP directly undercuts one of the few things that used to make long-term characters feel meaningful.

So the question I keep coming back to is: why don't more MMOs put hard caps on power-related spending?

Not a soft limit. Not "diminishing value if you spend more." I mean an actual monthly or account-level ceiling where, past a certain point, money cannot buy more progression. Cosmetics could still be separate, but anything that touches power, catch-up, gear, XP, convenience, or character growth would hit a wall.

The only concrete example I've personally run into is ROOC, a classic RO server where power-related spending is tied to a monthly pass structure instead of an open-ended cash shop! I'm not bringing it up as a recommendation, and I know private/classic servers are a touchy subject here. It's just the one example I have where the design at least tries to stop a payer from endlessly outspending everyone else, while gear and cards still mostly come from mobs and the player market.

I know this probably cuts revenue, and I know whales subsidize a lot of live-service games. Developers are not charities. But I also wonder whether unlimited spending has quietly made MMO design worse. If the store has no ceiling, then progression systems start being built around that fact, and everyone else has to live inside the economy it creates!

We're rebuilding a fairly large website and need people who are genuinely strong on the technical side.

Main priorities:

● Site migration

● Crawl optimization

● Internal linking

● Performance

● Indexation

Not looking for content marketing more interested in technical implementation.
