Single big words and full-screen pictures alternate on hard cuts, one per beat, and end on a closing line. A 4 to 10 second clip in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, as an MP4 on its own or as one scene of a longer launch film. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when a launch wants energy: a sizzle, a teaser or a rhythm of verbs (Plan, Build, Ship).

About this skill

You say

Hard cuts: Plan, Build, a photo, Test, Ship, a photo, Repeat; end "Do it all in one place".

It said back

I rendered the clip: 5.85 seconds, 1920×1080 (16:9), 30 fps, 435 KB.

The layout check found no problems. The last frame shows "Do it all in one place" in black on orange. I didn't open the video itself.
