Adds a breakdown bar to a talking-head video in which a frame moves along the parts, landing on each as it is named: decompose it, then look at each piece. Timed to the words they say, on their own footage, with their sound kept; 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 someone takes something apart piece by piece (a price, a budget, a process time).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I say 1 hour, break the Monday call into its parts and scan each: 20 minutes going round the room, 15 reading the board aloud, 15 on side topics, 10 on real blockers. These are my own numbers and words, put them on screen as they are.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4, a 1920×1080, 30 fps, 24.3 s video with your original sound unchanged. I checked a still of the finished bar and it reads cleanly, with no layout warnings. I didn't watch the rendered video itself.

The beat

  • It runs 5.9–14.9 s, with the bar landing as you say "1 hour" in the line "12 people, 1 hour, every Monday". You sit on the right and the graphic fills the left half.
  • The title is "The Monday call: 1 hour". The four parts are your words and numbers, and a frame slides along the bar from part to part:
  • Going round the room: 20
  • Reading the board aloud: 15
  • Side topics: 15
  • Real blockers: 10
  • The look is paper, with your face kept clear at [50, 32].
