Metric, Then the Screen

A big number counts up beside them, then hands over to the screen it came from.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Adds a big number that counts up beside a speaker, then hands over to the screenshot behind it with callouts: the result first, then where it shows. 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 states a result and then shows the screen or product it came from.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 count up "40%" beside me, then hand over to app-screenshot.png.

It said back

The video is rendered: talk-graphics.mp4, 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. I checked the layout, which came back with no warnings, but I haven't watched the rendered file. The sound is hers and unchanged.

Beats

  • Stat, 19.3–21.2 s: a "40%" counter appears on the right, with the label "meeting time dropped" and "after one quarter". It starts on her words "dropped by 40%".
  • Shot, 21.2–24.2 s: the panel hands over to app-screenshot.png in a phone frame, starting on "honestly, nobody missed". She stays on the left throughout.
