Makes a short launch-film scene as an MP4 clip: process steps roll through a focus band one by one, each explained and ticked off, before a full panel delivers the takeaway. It shows the person's own product, words, screenshots or pictures in real type and smooth motion (about 9 s), works alone as a social clip or as one scene in a longer launch film, at 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 a product has a short process worth walking through step by step, or when someone asks for a "focus band steps" animation, motion graphic or product clip.

About this skill

You say

Walk through Upload, Tag, Share, Track for our document tool, ending "Signed in a day". About us: Document tool Papertrail.

It said back

I've made the clip. It's at papertrail/papertrail.mp4 (1920×1080, 16:9, 7.5 s, 321 KB) and has no sound.

  • What it shows: Upload, Tag, Share and Track roll through the focus band one at a time, each ticked off. A full blue panel then reads "Signed in a day".
  • Look: studio, a cool white background with blue panels. I didn't have a Papertrail brand colour, so it uses the default blue.
  • Checks: The layout check found no warnings. The check sheet only showed the final takeaway frame, so I haven't looked at the step frames. I haven't played the rendered clip either.
  • Step text: I used only your four words and left out the explanation lines under each step. You hadn't given me any, and I didn't want to invent claims about the product. If you send one short line per step, I can add them and re-render.
