Adds cards that land one by one beside a speaker, then a total card whose number counts up: the parts, then what they add up to. 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 adds up costs, savings or hours and wants the total to land at the end.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 add up 12 people x 1 hour each week to 600 hours as cards and a total.

It said back

I rendered the video with the cards and the total: talk-graphics.mp4 (in the work folder, next to talk.mp4). It is 1920×1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. Their sound is unchanged. It cost nothing.

The beat runs from 4.9 s to 9.8 s, with the speaker sliding to the right half and the cards on the left:

  • People, 12: lands as they say "12 people".
  • Each, 1 hr: lands as they say "1 hour".
  • Total, 600 hours: lands after the last card and stays until "600 hours a year".
