Adds a row of cards across the bottom of a talking-head video, in front of the speaker, while they stay in view: figures without leaving the face. 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 gives a few figures or options and wants to stay on camera while they show.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 put 12 people, 1 hour and every Monday as a card row in front of me.

It said back

The video is rendered: talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder. It is 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps, 13 MB.

  • Cards: three cards sit in a row along the bottom, in front of her: People 12, Length 1 hour and When Every Monday. They are timed to "12 people, 1 hour, every Monday" at 3.5 s, and they are on screen from 4.9 to 8.1 s.
  • Face: her face stays clear above the cards. I set the face position to [50, 30].
  • Look and captions: I used the paper look (warm off-white panels, black type). Captions are off for this beat, because the cards sit where captions would go.
  • Sound: her original audio is untouched.
  • Checks: the layout check reported no warnings, and I looked at the check frame before rendering.
