Adds a checklist beside a person talking to camera: they slide to one half of the frame and each point appears with a tick as they say it. 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 lists things to check, bring, avoid or do in a talking-head video (a buying guide, a packing list, a set-up routine) and wants each one ticked on screen as they say it.
