Adds a chapter list to a talking-head video: every section listed, the ones already covered ticked and the current one lit, so viewers see where they are. 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 wants viewers to see where they are in a longer video (a lesson in parts, a tutorial, a long explainer).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 show the chapters "The cost", "What we tried", "The result" with "What we tried" lit when I get there.

It said back

I rendered the overlay: talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder. It is 1920x1080 at 30 fps and 24.3 s long.

  • Chapter list: it shows "The cost", "What we tried" and "The result". "The cost" is ticked, "What we tried" is lit as 02 in the accent colour, and "The result" is faint. I looked at the check frame and it reads clearly.
  • Timing: it appears from 9.5 s to 13.0 s. It is cued on "So we tried three things", the moment you move on to what you tried.
  • Face: the list covers the whole frame for those 3.5 s while you keep talking, so you are not on screen during it. The face position is set to [48, 30].
  • Look: paper (warm off-white with a tomato accent). I used the default look because you didn't specify one.
  • Sound: your audio is unchanged.
  • Checks: --check reported no warnings or notes.
