Adds bars split into parts to a talking-head video: two to four bars with the same part names, each part drawing in as said, to compare the mix. 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 what two or more things are made of (two meals, two years, two budgets).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I say meeting time dropped by 40%, compare our week before and after as two ratio bars: before, 25% meetings and 75% focus work; after, 15% meetings and 85% focus work. These are my own numbers and words, put them on screen as they are.

It said back

I've rendered the video with the two ratio bars on screen. The check sheet showed no layout warnings, and I looked at its frame before rendering.

Output: talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder, 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. The sound is yours and unchanged.

The Recaply plan opens it too, with every other premium skill and prompt.

What do I get from Ratio Bars?

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 36 s to 1 min 36 s and $0.13 to $0.13 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 Ratio Bars to use it?

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