Adds a pyramid to a talking-head video that builds level by level as they say each one, top first, with a short note beside each level. 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 explains priorities or a hierarchy from most to least important (what to pay first, what to learn first).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I name the three things we tried, rank what goes in a Friday update as a pyramid, top to bottom: blockers, decisions, news. These are my own numbers and words, put them on screen as they are.

It said back

The video is rendered: talk-graphics.mp4 in the working folder, 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. The sound is yours and unchanged. I checked the layout, which showed no warnings, and looked at the settled frame. I haven't watched the rendered video itself.

The beat (pyramid, full-frame, 11.2–17.6 s):

  • Title: "Friday update".
  • Levels, top to bottom: Blockers (in the accent), Decisions, News.
  • Timing: each level lands as you name one of the three things:
  • Blockers on "Written updates on Friday"
  • Decisions on "one shared board"
  • News on "15-minute call"
  • End: the graphic stays until "only when something is stuck".
