Payments are non-refundable. See our Terms of service.

Adds a ledger of costs beside a speaker: one line per item with dotted leaders as each is said, then a rule and a total that counts up. 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 what something really costs.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 show the cost of the Monday call as a ledger that totals 600 hours.

It said back

I rendered the Monday call as a ledger over talk.mp4. The output is talk-graphics.mp4, 1920x1080 at 30 fps and 24.3 s long. The check pass found no layout problems, and I looked at the final frame, which reads cleanly. I didn't watch the rendered video itself.

The ledger runs from 4.9 s to 9.8 s, on the left half with the speaker on the right.
