Adds a status sidebar beside a speaker: items land with their status pills as they say them, and the one they focus on is stressed at the end. 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 gives a status round-up (a project, a renovation, a list of orders) and wants one item to stand out.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, show written updates, the shared board and the 15-minute call as a status sidebar and stress the board.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder. It's 1920x1080, 24.3 s, with the speaker's original sound unchanged. The layout check found no problems, and I looked at the settled frame.

  • Sidebar: it starts at 11.2 s and stays until 24.2 s, ending on "old Monday call". The speaker slides to the right half and the sidebar fills the left, titled "What we tried". I set face to [48, 28] from the face check.
  • Rows: each row appears as she says it.
  • "Written updates" lands on "Written updates", with the pill "Friday".
  • "Shared board" lands on "one shared board", with the pill "One board".
  • "15-minute call" lands on "15-minute call", with the pill "Only when stuck".
  • Stress: the shared board row is the one stressed. It gets the accent outline, and the other rows stay plain.
  • Look: paper, with the default accent.
