Adds animated graphics and captions to a video of a person talking to camera, timed to what they say - side panels with lists, numbers that count up, cards, bar and line charts, rings, tables, funnels, pyramids, radar charts, equations, nested groups, balances, calendars, device links, diagrams (steps, merge, fan, hub, cycle), timelines, 2x2 maps, chats, quotes, screenshots with callouts, picture walls, notifications, keyboard shortcuts, struck-out words, chapter cards, name tags, labels around the speaker, keyword captions, punch-in zooms and word-by-word captions. Keeps their sound. Works for 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, and can crop a wide video to vertical. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg; no video model and no cost. Use when someone wants a talking-head video edited with motion graphics, B-roll cards or captions - a YouTube video, a Reel, TikTok or Short, a course lesson, a podcast clip, a founder update or an explainer.

About this skill
You say
I recorded talk.mp4 for our YouTube channel and the transcript is talk.json. Can you add graphics where I mention numbers and the three things we tried, plus captions? I'm Maya Ortiz, head of operations at Loopwork.
It said back
I've finished the edited video: talk-graphics.mp4. It's 1920×1080, 24.3 s long, 30 fps and 12 MB, and the sound is your original audio, unchanged. Your recording is 1280×720, so it's scaled up to 1080p for YouTube and will look slightly softer than footage shot at 1080p.
The graphics use the "paper" look: warm off-white panels, black type and a tomato-red accent. Each one is timed to the words you say:
