Adds labels with lines that point at things in a speaker's own shot as they name them: a product in their hand, a part of a machine, something on the desk. 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 holds up or stands beside a physical thing and names its parts.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 point labels at the lamp and the bookshelf behind me.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder. It is 1920x1080 and 24.3 s, and your sound is unchanged. I checked the settled frame of the callouts and it reads well, with no layout warnings. I haven't played the rendered file itself.

  • Labels: "Bookshelf" points at the shelf on the left and "Lamp" at the lamp on the right. Each has a dot on the object and a line to its label. Both stay clear of your face.
  • Timing: they appear from 1.0 s to 7.0 s. You never say "lamp" or "bookshelf" in the talk, so I couldn't cue them to your words and used fixed seconds instead. If you'd like them at another moment, tell me the time.
  • Look: paper (off-white panels, black type, tomato accent).
