Footage often doesn't match what the narration is talking about

I make sports documentaries, mostly about track and field athletes such as Usain Bolt. When the narration names an athlete, a race or a historical moment, VidLift often puts in generic or unrelated sports clips instead of footage of that person or event. What I'd expect: - Each part of the script is understood for what it actually describes (the person, the race, the place, the year) and searched for that. - More footage sources searched, with the most relevant results first, and better searching for specific people, sporting events, locations and historical moments. - When the exact footage doesn't exist, the closest relevant shot is used, never a random one. This is my biggest concern right now. The transitions got smoother in the recent update, but footage accuracy is what decides whether a video looks professional.
