A short statement lands word by word, each word bursting with copies that fly out of it.

Adds a short statement over a talking-head video whose words land one by one, each bursting with echo copies that scale out and fade, for the line that should hit hardest. 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 has one punchline or rallying line in a short video and wants it to burst on screen as they say it.

About this skill

You say

Make "nobody missed the old Monday call" burst on screen at the end of talk.mp4.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4 (1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps), and "nobody missed the old Monday call" now bursts on screen at the end. I checked the settled frame but haven't watched the full render. The sound is the speaker's own, unchanged, and talk.mp4 is untouched.

  • Timing: The words land one by one as she says them, starting at 22.1 s (about when "nobody" begins) and running to the end of the clip. Each word bursts out in echo copies that fade.
  • Look: I used night: white type with a mint accent, and "nobody" highlighted in mint. The text sits low in the frame so it stays clear of her face.
  • Warning: The check flagged that "call" is on screen for only 0.8 s before the video ends, against the 1.2 s the tool wants. She finishes the line at 23.78 s and the clip ends at 24.3 s, so there's nothing later to cue to. Fixing it would mean holding the last frame for a second or two, which I haven't done. Say if you want that.
  • Source size: The source is 1280x720, so the output is upscaled to 1080p.
