One Versus Many

One option faces many on the other side, each side's points landing as said.

Payments are non-refundable. See our Terms of service.

Adds a one-versus-many comparison to a talking-head video: one thing on the left, many on the right, each side's points landing as said. 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 compares one big thing with many small ones (one client against ten, one tool against five apps).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 compare one hour-long meeting with many short written updates.

It said back

I've rendered the comparison as talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder, 1920x1080 and 24.3 s. The sound is the speaker's own and unchanged. I checked the layout and the settled frame, and there were no warnings or notes. I didn't watch the rendered file.

The beat (compare, full-frame, paper look)

  • Left, "Weekly meeting": "12 people", "1 hour", "600 hours a year". These are from her line "12 people, 1 hour, every Monday, that's 600 hours a year".
  • Right, "Written updates": "Updates on Friday", "One shared board", "15-minute call if stuck". These are from "Written updates on Friday, one shared board, and a 15-minute call, only when something is stuck". I put this side on the right because it's the one she favours.
  • Timing: it starts at 3.4 s, when she says "First, the cost", and ends at 17.6 s, after "is stuck". Each point appears as she says it.

What do I get when I buy One Versus Many?

A ZIP of the whole skill folder (105 KB): the SKILL.md your agent follows and its 12 other files, the references, templates and scripts it uses. You download it from this page whenever you need it, and install it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. The Recaply plan opens it too, with every other premium skill and prompt.

How do I install One Versus Many?

Buy it, then download the ZIP from this page. For Claude Code, unzip it into .claude/skills/ in your project. For Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, unzip it and run npx skills add ./one-vs-many-overlay with your agent's flag.

What do I get from One Versus Many?

Your video with the overlay timed to the words, sound kept. The single option sits on one side, the many on the other, with the word between them. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

What does One Versus Many need?

Node 22+, Chrome and ffmpeg, and no API key. Each use costs nothing beyond your agent.

13 files, about 79,875 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,213 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 41 s to 1 min 41 s and $0.14 to $0.14 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-sonnet-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name One Versus Many to use it?

Type /one-vs-many-overlay first to make sure it loads. Without it, Claude Code may judge a small job simple enough to do without the skill.
