Adds a cycle diagram to a talking-head video with every step shown at once and a soft marker that moves round the loop to each step as it is said. 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 walks through the states of a cycle one by one (the water cycle, a sales cycle, the seasons on a farm).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 walk a marker round write, read, fix, call.

It said back

The cycle overlay is rendered: talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder, 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. The sound is hers and unchanged. The check found no layout warnings or notes, and I looked at the settled frame, which reads well. I didn't watch the rendered video itself.

The beat runs 11.2–17.7 s in the paper look, full frame. All four steps sit on the loop from the start, and a soft marker moves round to each as she says it:

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