Adds a chat to a talking-head video that builds message by message, then spotlights one reply and underlines its key phrase while the rest fade 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 reads a conversation and wants one reply to stand out (the answer that solved it, the line that changed their mind).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, show a short chat and spotlight the reply "only when something is stuck".

It said back

I rendered the video with a short chat overlaid. The reply "only when something is stuck" is spotlit near the end of the chat. The sound is hers and unchanged.

Output: talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder, 1920×1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps.

Our 1 runs took 1 min 37 s to 1 min 37 s and $0.12 to $0.12 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-sonnet-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name Reply Line Spotlight to use it?

Type /chat-spotlight-overlay first to make sure it loads. Without it, Claude Code may judge a small job simple enough to do without the skill.
