Makes a short launch-film scene as an MP4 clip: a cursor drags boxes onto an empty canvas, each gets a short description, and the picture resolves inside every box. It shows the person's own product, words, screenshots or pictures in real type and smooth motion (about 6 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 an image tool lets you place things where you want them, or when someone asks for a "boxes to picture" animation, motion graphic or product clip.

About this skill

You say

Drag boxes for "Mountain", "Lake" and "Cabin" and resolve a landscape inside them. About us: Layout image tool Placewise; one landscape picture.

It said back

I made the clip: a 16:9 MP4, 6.6 s long, 1920×1080 at 30 fps, 214 KB. It has no sound, since you didn't give me any music.

What it shows: a cursor drags three boxes onto an empty canvas in the studio look. They are labelled "Lake", "Mountain" and "Cabin", and your green-hills picture (photo-2.png) resolves inside each one. The layout check showed no warnings, and the final frame reads cleanly.
