Vizrt, known for its real-time graphics and live production products for content creators, has released new software for its flagship sports highlight enhancement tool that gives users the ability to crop video to various aspect ratios from one interface.
Users of the Viz Libero can create one project and publish multiple versions to multiple platforms during live games or post-match.
“Younger demographics are consuming sports on social media through snackable clips like replays, analysis, and highlights,” says Edouard Griveaud, Senior Product Manager at Vizrt. “Viz Libero helps create the perfect content to capture the attention of new audiences like Gen Z, with illustrative and engaging graphics. To support our customers and users in reaching and engaging these new audiences in an even better and faster way we’ve developed a unique social media video crop tool.”
The social media crop tool in Viz Libero is pre-configured to track players to speed up the most basic use of analysis for social media. Operators can select the aspect ratio, then click on the player and the video crop tool will automatically track and crop.
Viz Libero 8.3 also includes several other improvements including non-line sports calibration for sports like cricket and ice hockey, where there are few lines on the playing area to guide graphics placements, alongside native Datacenter integration to Sportec.
