Bars Then Before and After

A hook line sits over a monthly bar chart, then a before-and-after chart shows the drop, and both results land.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Makes a short launch-film scene as an MP4 clip: a hook line sits over a monthly bar chart, then a before-and-after chart shows the drop, and both results land. It shows the person's own product, words, screenshots or pictures in real type and smooth motion (about 10 s), works alone as a social clip or as one scene in a longer launch film, at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg; no video model, no key and no cost. Use when a product has measurable results to show over time, or when someone asks for a "bars then before and after" animation, motion graphic or product clip.

It said back

The clip is rendered: 9.5 s, 1920×1080 (16:9), 30 fps, 304 KB, in the studio look (cool white with one blue). It has no sound. I checked the first chart in a still frame, but I didn't look at the second chart again after changing its caption.
