Adds a full-frame bar chart to a talking-head video: the chart takes over while they talk through the numbers, then the speaker comes back. 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 talks through numbers that need the whole screen to read.

About this skill

You say

Take over the frame in talk.mp4 with a chart of 600 hours before and 360 after.

It said back

The chart now takes over the frame with 600 h before and 360 h after, and the speaker comes back at the end. I rendered it and ran the layout check, which found no problems. I looked at the chart frame in the check sheet but haven't watched the full render.

  • File: talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder. It is 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps, and the sound is the speaker's, unchanged.
  • Timing: The chart is on screen from 7.7 s to 21.7 s.
  • It starts on "that's 600 hours", and the Before bar grows to 600 h.
  • The After bar (360 h) grows on "dropped by 40%".
  • The speaker is back on screen for the last 2.6 s, and for the first 7.7 s.
  • Look: paper, titled "Meeting hours per year", with the After bar highlighted.
  • 360 h: The speaker never says "360". They say 600 hours and a 40% drop, which works out to 360, so I used the number you gave me.
