Adds phone notifications to a talking-head video that drop in one by one, then turn into a log beside the speaker: what came in, then what it adds up to. 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 shows alerts that came in (orders, sign-ups, messages) and then sums them up.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, drop in a "Friday update posted" notification, then show a log of the week.

It said back

I rendered the video with both graphics: talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder. It is 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps, in the paper look. The sound is hers and unchanged. The check found no layout problems, and the face stays clear in both frames.

1. Notification, 11.2–14.2 s. A "Friday update posted" alert drops in at the top right, tied to her words "Written updates on Friday". The sender "Team", the line "Written update" and the time "Fri" are my wording. She never describes an actual alert, so check that you're happy with them.

2. Log of the week, 17.4–24.2 s. She steps to the right half and a ticked "The week" list fills the left, tied to "After one quarter". It runs until "old Monday call". The three points are her three changes, shortened:

  • Friday: written update
  • One shared board
  • 15-minute call, only if stuck
