Adds one to three sliding scales to a talking-head video ("Fast" to "Careful"), with a marker that slides to where they say they sit, and a second marker to compare. 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 places themselves (or a team, or a product) between two ends.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 place our team on "Meet" to "Write" before and after.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4 (1920×1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps). The sound is hers and unchanged. I checked the layout on one settled frame with no warnings, but I haven't watched the finished video.

What's on screen

  • Scale: "How we share status", with "Meet" on the left and "Write" on the right.
  • Markers: "Before" sits at 10 and "After" at 80, both measured from the "Meet" end.
  • Timing: it comes in as she says "First, the cost" (3.4 s) and stays until "stuck" (17.6 s).
  • Layout: she slides to the right half and the scale fills the left (the side layout), in the paper look. Her face stays clear of the graphic.

What do I get from Two-Way Scales?

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 31 s to 1 min 31 s and $0.10 to $0.10 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 Two-Way Scales to use it?

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