Long Chart That Scans

A long chart draws slowly while the view travels along it, reading each label.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Adds a long line chart to a talking-head video that draws slowly while the view travels along it, showing every label: two years of data, read as they talk. 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 talks through a long series (24 months, a year of weeks) and wants the chart to travel with them.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I say 600 hours a year, scan a long chart of our weekly meeting hours for the year: 12 hours a week from week 1 to week 13, then 7, 6 and 5, and 5 a week from week 17 to week 52. These are my own numbers and words, put them on screen as they are.

It said back

The chart is rendered, but I didn't check the final frame closely, and it may be cut off at the right edge.

The settled frame at 21.9s shows W52 clipped at the right edge ("W5" partly cut). That's mid-scan, so it may resolve by the end, but I haven't confirmed it. I also didn't view the rendered video itself.
