Slide Beside the Speaker

Their slide fills half the frame beside them, pushing in slowly on the part they discuss.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Adds a slide or picture beside a person talking to camera, pushing in slowly on the part they talk about, with callouts as they name things. 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 talks over their own slides (a talk recording, a lesson, a pitch) and wants the slide beside them, not instead of them.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 show app-screenshot.png beside me as a slide while I describe the shared board.

It said back

I've rendered the video with the screenshot beside you: talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder (1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps). The sound is yours and unchanged.

The beat (12.9–18.9 s):

  • Cue: it starts as you say "one shared board".
  • Layout: you slide to the left half and the screenshot fills the right half with no frame. It pushes in slowly toward the shopping list at the bottom of the screenshot.
  • Callout: a "Shared board" label with a dot appears under the shopping card. It uses your words, and it sits in empty space so it doesn't cover the card's text.
  • Duration: it holds for 6 s, which covers the rest of that sentence, "…and a 15-minute call, only when something is stuck".
  • Look: paper, the default. The check found no warnings, and your face stays uncovered.
