Adds grouped bars to a talking-head video: each label gets two bars, one per series (this year and last, us and them), growing as they are said, with a legend. 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 compares two series across a few labels (two years by region, two plans by feature).

What do I get from Grouped Bars?

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 32 s to 1 min 32 s and $0.11 to $0.11 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-sonnet-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name Grouped Bars to use it?

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